- 已经有一些小规模和大规模的异步电路技术演示，表明它们在各种应用领域的性能和功率效率方面都有贝内。最近，TrueNorth神经形态芯片中使用了异步电路，为神经形态系统实现了前所未有的能源效率。然而，这些电路不容易被采用，因为商业上可用的设计工具不支持异步逻辑。作为DARPA ERI工作的一部分，我们正在通过开发一套用于异步电路的开源设计工具来应对这一挑战。
—There have been a number of small-scale and large-scale technology demonstrations of asynchronous circuits, showing that they have benefits in performance and power-efficiency in a variety of application domains. Most recently, asynchronous circuits were used in the TrueNorth neuromorphic chip to achieve unprecedented energy-efficiency for neuromorphic systems. However, these circuits cannot be easily adopted, because commercially available design tools do not support asynchronous logic. As part of the DARPA ERI effort, we are addressing this challenge by developing a set of open-source design tools for asynchronous circuits.
