Very interesting talk. I'd like to read some of his research, and learn about the concurrent processors his team has created.

- dang 9y agoThere's more here, with a bit more detail on the circuits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXVUoT_objA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXVUoT_objA. These are interesting talks. Sutherland of course is the genius who created Sketchpad, described by Alan Kay as the Newtonian leap of software. But these talks go into his decades of work on asynchronous circuits. It's fascinating stuff with historical context, such as his anecdote about how clocks came to be added to digital circuits. They needed them because they were clamping wires together with hand tools and couldn't do it the same way every time, leading to noise in the circuits.
