QuickTime Ring MoviesTHESEUSRESEARCHINCORPORATEDThis discussion accompanies a set of QuickTime movies thatvisualize the dynamic spatial relationships of wavefronts andbubbles flowing through a ring. The movie behavior is comparedto the view in terms of signal behavior presented as a collectionof correlated signal traces.The juxtaposed views illuminate ring behavior more effectivelythan either view by itself.The Pipeline RingThe pipeline ring is a pipeline with its data path closed into a ring.Ring2221 2112 1222The Wavefront Rejoin PeriodTHESEUSRESEARCHThe wavefront rejoin path is the sum of the register delays andINCORPORATEDthe data path delays of the wavefront path.2221 21112222wavefront pathThe Bubble Rejoin PeriodThe bubble rejoin path is the sum of the register delays, the completiondelays and the acknowledge path delays of the bubble path.2221 2112 1222bubble pathCycle PeriodThe cycle period is the sum of the two register delays, the data path delay,THESEUSRESEARCHthe completion delay and the acknowledge path delay of a cycle path.INCORPORATEDregister delaycompletion delaydata path delay2221 2112 1222acknowledge path delaycycle pathThe Wavefront Population PeriodThe wavefront population period is the time it takes for all the wavefronts in thering to propagate through a slowest cycle in the ring which equals number ofwavefronts in ring times slowest cycle period.The Bubble Population ...
