Abstract
An asynchronous processing system comprising an asynchronous scalar processor and an asynchronous vector processor coupled to the scalar processor. The asynchronous scalar processor is configured to perform processing functions on input data and to output instructions. The asynchronous vector processor is configured to perform processing functions in response to a very long instruction word (VLIW) received from the scalar processor. The VLIW comprises a first portion and a second portion, at least the first portion comprising a vector instruction.
