Thanks for the interesting link to asynch CPU research. Here's a note from Scientific American about Gordon Bell's opinion of the prospects:

$1000 Challenge to Async
In an interview for a story I am writing on async processors, Gordon Bell, former chief engineer for DEC, threw down a gauntlet to the async research community. He offered to bet one or more researchers up to a total of $1,000 that there will not be a fully asynchronous microprocessor (not including associated SRAM) in commercial use by April Fool's Day, 2000.

Will anyone take up his challenge? If so, please respond to my attention, and I will mediate and publicize the terms.
