Abstract

A scheduling approach enables scheduling sequential execution of rules in a single cycle of a synchronous system without necessarily requiring explicit implementation of a composite rule for each sequence of rules than may be composed. One method for designing a synchronous digital system includes using modules with multiple successive interfaces such that within the a single clocked cycle, each module performs a function equivalent to completing interactions through one of its interfaces before performing interactions through any succeeding one of its interfaces. The scheduled state transition rules are associated with corresponding interfaces of the modules.
