SYSTEM FOR SCHEDULING THE EXECUTION OF TASKS CLOCKED BY A VECTOR LOGICAL TIME

摘要

A comparator unit for two Nm-bit data words, comprises a comparison output indicative of an order relation between the two data words, the function of the comparison unit being represented by a logic table comprising rows associated with the possible consecutive values of the first data word and columns associated with the possible consecutive values of the second data word, where each row includes a one at the intersection with the column associated with the same value as the row, followed by a series of zeros. The series of zeros is followed by a series of ones completing the row circularly, the number of zeros being the same for each row and smaller than half of the maximum value of the data words.
