Architectural view of future systems<br />

System level.<br />

Partition the system into blocks of limited size.<br />

(Preferably natural partition, processors, memories, IP-blocks etc.)<br />

We may define a system where only order of events is important.<br />

(“Classical” asynchronous, Patient systems (Carloni et al 1999))<br />

We may then accept any latency between blocks.<br />

We may define a system with fixed latency between blocks.<br />

(If fixed latency is n clock cycles, the system is synchronous)<br />

We may then accept any latency < nT c between blocks.<br />
