Abstract :
Pipeline synchronization is a simple, low-cost, high-bandwidth, high-reliability solution to interfaces between synchronous and asynchronous systems, or between synchronous systems operating from different clocks. The technique can sustain maximum communication bandwidth while achieving an arbitrarily low, non-zero probability of synchronization failure, Pf, with the price in both latency and chip area being 𝒪(log 1/Pf). Pipeline synchronization has been successfully applied to high-performance inter-computer communication in multicomputers and local-area networks
