A design language for asynchronous logic

A. K. Burston *, D. J. Kinniment * and H. Kahn *

Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester, Manchester, UK

This paper discusses the restrictions and problems of conventional design systems for digital hardware. From this is derived a set of requirements for an improved design system. Using these requirements, a discussion of existing design systems and the known requirements of designers of large systems, a set of criteria for a design system for large, fast, parallel, asynchronous hardware is produced. Most of the paper involves a description of the ADL design language, which is then viewed in terms of the original criteria. An example of the use of the ADL is included as an appendix.

Received June 1977.
