There is an FPGA company, Achronix, that claimed to do this. Their FPGA architecture was apparently asynchronous, and they had tools that compiled synchronous designs onto it. Don't know how good their tech was, but they got bought by Intel and are still making it AFAIR.
- achronix 5y agoAchronix is still an independent FPGA company No longer focused on asynchronous FPGA technology Currently shipping high performance synchronous FPGA technology on 7nm Learn more about the Speedster7t FPGA: https://www.achronix.com/product/speedster7t-fpgas https://www.achronix.com/product/speedster7t-fpgas
- pclmulqdq 5y agoTheir async tech worked fine, but FPGAs likely don't get the same benefit as ASICs from async logic. Not to mention debugging is hard, so if you're not committed to a design, you may not want to put in the effort. The Achronix folks are going strong today (still independent), but with a much more conventional FPGA. The on-chip network may be async, but they hide it well. I hope they have lots of success in the future.
