High Speed Digital Systems Laboratory המעבדה למערכות ספרתיות מהירות Abstract The benefits of asynchronous VLSI circuit design include: elimination of clock skew problems, average-case performance, adaptivity to processing and environmental variations, lower system power requirements and reduced noise. The ARMOR is an asynchronous RISC microprocessor with an out-of-order execution engine. It is designed using the Balsa asynchronous hardware description language and environment tools. The synthesized ARMOR core may then be implemented on the Xilinx VertexPro FPGA and interface with synchronous memory modules. 2
