Abstract

An asynchronous processor having pipelined instruction fetching and execution to implement concurrent execution of instructions by two or more execution units. A writeback unit is connected to execution units and memory units to control information updates and to handle precise exception. A pipelined completion mechanism can be implemented to improve the throughput.
