Abstract

This paper presents the speed and energy figures for an asynchronous implementation of a MIPS R3000 microprocessor. The design is almost entirely QDI and introduces a new fine-grained pipeline. The performance figures show that this design is four times as efficient as equivalent clocked designs and that its cycle time in FO4 units compares to that of high-performance dynamic pipelines.
