Abstract

See full text

A pipeline system may adjust clock rates of variable-rate clock signals sent to different processing circuit blocks in a pipeline based on their respective, individual input and output buffer fill levels and processor busy statuses. Variable-rate clock generation circuitry may generate the variable-rate clock signals based on a common clock signal. Additionally, the variable-rate clock generation circuity may set or adjust the rates of variable-rate clock signals linearly in evenly-spaced increments and decrements.
