TL;DR: An elastic pipeline mechanism that is especially suitable for data-driven processors and using different types of transfer control circuits, two loop-shaped elastic pipeline mechanisms have been implemented on test chips and are compared with each other.

TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for manipulating a relational data base includes a unit for describing input data in a table format, a unit that describes all the operational manipulation with respect to the input data, and a unit to outputting data by referring to the described input data and operational manipulation, where the manipulation contents are described in the operation manipulation description region and the map relation description region.

TL;DR: In this paper, an input limiting section is adapted to control packets from being inputted from the external unit when the current number of packets exceeds a specified threshold value which is greater than a minimum packet number existing in the circular pipeline and which allows the attainment of the highest possible throughput.

TL;DR: In this article, a high-pass filter circuit is used for passing, when a leakage signal occurs, a signal of equal frequency component to the leakage signal, and an attenuation circuit for attenuating the level of the signal passed through the filter circuit to the same level of leakage signal.

TL;DR: An improved data driven processor that utilizes queue buffers in the data path to maintain optimal dataflow is presented in this paper, where the authors describe an improved data-driven processor that uses queue buffers to improve data flow.
