The System-on-Chip era has arrived, and it arrived quickly. Modular composition of components through a shared interconnect is now becoming the standard, rather than the exotic. Asynchronous interconnect fabrics and globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) design has been shown to be potentially advantageous. However, the arduous road to developing asynchronous on-chip communication and interfaces to clocked cores is still nascent. This road of converting to asynchronous networks, and potentially the core intellectual property block as well, will be rocky. Asynchronous circuit design has been employed since the 1950's. However, it is doubtful that its present form will be what we will see 10 years hence. This treatise is intended to provoke debate as it projects what technologies will look like in the future, and discusses, among other aspects, the role of formal verification, education, the CAD industry, and the ever present tradeoff between greed and fear. |
