The counterflow pipeline concept was originated by Sproull and Sutherland to demonstrate
the concept of asynchronous circuits. This architecture relies on distributed decision
making and localized clocking and data movement. We have taken these ideas and reformulated
them into a substantially faster more scalable architecture that has the same distributed
decision making and locality for clocking and data, but adds very aggressive
speculation, no stalls, and other desirable characteristics. A high level Java simulator has
been built to explore the design tradeoffs and evaluate performance. / Graduation date: 1998
