Scumbria, >As for asynchronous design, it isn't worth the effort. Saving latch delays doesn't justify the complexity. Have you ever seen a symphony orchestra without a conductor? And then there's Sun: If the project is successful, the advantages would include greatly reduced power consumption and a dramatic computing speed increase, because -- well, let Markoff say it -- because the "tyrannical clock....forces all of the millions of the circuits on a chip to march in unison." theregister.co.uk I agree with you (again, wow! ;-). Ever try to debug any asynchronous logic? :-( Tony
