Asynchronous Design Home Page
The Asynchronous Design Group explores the potential and works to understand the problems of the asynchronous design style. Our work to date leads us to believe that asynchronous systems offer:
Improved performance or price performance;
Reduced design cost and time through re-use of specifications and designs;
Lower power consumption because no energy-consuming transitions happen unnecessarily;
An easy upgrade path to take advantage of incremental technology improvements because different parts may run at different speeds;
and A way to reason about the correctness of a design.
