Abstract
A control apparatus and method is provided for controlling operations of functional units in systems. The control apparatus and method implement a set of operations that can include dependencies between the functional units of a system to complete each operation. For example, in an asynchronous digital processor, self-timing and inter-block communication are used to implement a self-timed scheduler. The self-timed scheduler and method implement an instruction set using a plurality of functional units of the asynchronous digital processor. A scheduler can include a scheduler decoder that decodes each instruction to generate functional unit schedule and control information, a communication device and a plurality of scheduler functional unit controllers, wherein each of the scheduler functional unit controllers corresponds to one of the plurality of functional units of a system.
