Multiprocessor System-on-Chip employing selftimed technique becomes increasingly attractive due to its ability for exploiting high parallelism of applications. There have been many research efforts on studying self-timed techniques on hardware layer. However, these research results are unable to be applied to system synthesis; in particular, how to correctly and optimally map an application represented by a Data Flow Graph to a self-timed ring architecture remains unknown. Self-timed ring (STR) is a popular and easy to implemented architecture. This paper establishes a series of theorems about the setting of initial configuration to achieve correct mappings and the formulas of calculating corresponding throughputs of STR. Based on the understanding, we can obtain a correct initial configuration of STR. And an algorithm presented in the paper can also find the best initial configuration that achieves the maximum throughput of STR. Examples show maximum throughput algorithm achieves 51.11% improvement of throughput compared with non-optimized ones.
