  • Abstract
    Despite the fact that most clock-related problems have been resolved, speeding-up the execution cycle has yet to be optimized. One way to achieve this is by having the components and modules of a microprocessor communicate in an asynchronous mode. A survey of several programs varying in length and application indicates that addition is the most frequently used instruction. Consequently, the design of asynchronous adders is evaluated
