Abstract:In order to resolve the power problem, this paper presents the design and implementation of an embedded heterogeneous dual-core microprocessor (ADTA-1), taking advantage of the low power feature of asynchronous circuits and the Data Triggered Architecture. Through testing, the asynchronous microprocessor is validated with its low power feature in multicore microprocessor, which provides a useful trial for future design of low-power asynchronous multicore microprocessors.
