Abstract
The authors present a 40-MFLOPS 32-bit floating-point processor (FP) which is a component chip for a data-driven single-board processor. The FP is the first practical LSI chip which has introduced the elastic pipeline scheme. All parts in the FP are autonomously controlled by self-timed circuits, and no system clock is needed for processing. The elastic pipeline scheme provides data buffering capability and stabilization of circuit operation at the same time. Pipelining has been extensively utilized so that high throughput over 40-MFLOPS can be achieved. An automatic power conservation technique, called 'latch mode control', is also described.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
