摘要
In designing asynchronous circuits it is critical to ensure that circuits are free of hazards in the specified set of input transitions. In this paper, two new algorithms are proposed to determine if a combinational circuit is hazard-free without exploring all its gates, thus providing more efficient hazard detection. Experimental results indicate that the best new algorithm on average visits only 20.7% of the original gates, with an average runtime speedup of 1.69 and best speedup of 2.27 (for the largest example).
