That was the gist of Achronix' idea--that you could get some
freakingly fast computation out of a clockless design.
I've been doing a lot of research on some of Chuck Moore's new
direct-execution Forth cores, like the F18A. They loudly claim to be
asynchronous and clockless. Some very impressive designs are being
churned out of his think tank. I have some samples on the way and am
absolutely frothing at the mouth to slap some on a board.
