Performance evaluation of asynchronous circuits is one of the most difficult parts in asynchronous circuit research. This Paper presents an approximate method by queuing network modeling for performance evaluation of asynchronous pipeline rings. The asynchronous pipeline rings are modeled by closed queuing networks with transfer blocking. An efficient approximation method is used to analyze the performance metrics, such as response time and throughput. These performance metrics can be used to derive the cycle time and latency of the asynchronous pipeline rings. Compared with theoretic results, the algorithm presented in this paper is efficient for performance evaluation of asynchronous pipeline rings.
