Micropipeline
Control Structure
}Req/Ack are handshaking pairs
}C[i] accepts 1/0 from C[i-1] only if C[i+1]=0/1
}Think of 1010101.. as waves: 10
10 10 1..
}The C-elements propagate waves precisely
}Timing depends on local delays, may vary along the pipe
}If RIGHT is quiet, pipe will fill and stall
}Same for 4-phase, 2-phase
