Abstract: A method and a system for stalling large pipelined designs. A computational pipeline may comprise a first module and a second module coupled together. The first module may propagate one or more signals to the second module. A stall-signal may be asserted in order to stall the computational pipeline if the second module is not ready to receive the one or more signals from the first module. The one or more signals propagated from the first module and the asserted stall-signal may be buffered in a stall-buffer. The asserted stall-signal may be propagated to the first module in a next cycle. The first module may be stalled in response to the first module receiving the propagated asserted stall-signal. Next, the asserted stall-signal may be propagated up the computational pipeline.
