Traditionally, computer microprocessors have used the method of silicon integrated circuits which was invented by Robert Noyce in 1958 and has been used ever since. This method allowed many transistors to be put on a single chip, and this allowed the creation of computers that were smaller, faster, and cheaper than ever before. ... So what is an asynchronous circuit hardware system? Asynchronous hardware systems are systems whose operations are not synchronized to a global clock signal. ... In conclusion, in order to continue increasing the speed of computers CPU's, a change must be made ...
