1. Transition From Synchronous To Asynchronous Chips
... the method of silicon integrated circuits which was invented by Robert Noyce in 1958 and has been used ever since. This method allowed many transistors to be put on a single chip, and this allowed the creation of computers that were smaller, faster, and cheaper than ever before. Since these microchips were being created faster, a method of measuring performance had to ... the makers of these chips are looking into moving towards a "clockless" logic.[2] In order to move from the clock type processors existing today to the "clockless" processors of the future, chip developers are working o...
