Abstract
An asynchronous switching apparatus is enabled to reshape data pulses and eliminate skewing problems as data is transmitted through the switch. The switching apparatus still functions asynchronously and maintains all the advantages of asynchronous operation, such as, not requiring the alignment and distribution of a central clock, having no central point failure mechanisms, and allowing each node of the parallel system to function free of synchronization requirements with other nodes.
