Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal aims to extend the use of asynchronous circuits in ICs and FPGAs by permitting the automatic generation of an asynchronous dual-rail/NCL microprocessor HDL descriptions and the associated emulator, debugger, compiler and assembler. The processor will be generated from a simple o-code based description, enabling a processor to be generated to match a particular applications requirement. This capability will be used as the basis of future research into the generation of an asynchronous microprocessor optimisation system and research into large co-operative systems optimised asynchronous processors, matched to a specific target application.
