Building Parallel Distributed Models for Asynchronous Computer Architectures


G. Theodoropoulos, J.V. Woods

Abstract

Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in asynchronous design techniques. Asynchronous logic provides a solution to the clock-related timing problems of synchronous systems and can offer higher performance and lower power consumption. This paper presents an approach for modeling and simulating asynchronous computer architectures using occam as a description language.
