Webinar: Asynchronous Design and HW Security

Speaker:

William Koven, Chip Lead at Facebook

Abstract:

This webinar will provide an overview of the most common asynchronous design techniques and their Power, Performance, Area, and Security (PPAS) tradeoffs with a focus on information leakage. This webinar will conclude with recommendations on when certain asynchronous approaches may be appropriate and provide superior PPAS to traditional synchronous design
