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 />
