[Starlink] Fwd: async circuits 30+ years later

I often think, I should never have played with this, I should never
have learned how to think like this about hardware, I am nearly alone
in the world, and completely unable to cope with modern hardware
design tools because of this:

I am happy to see there is still research ongoing, like I pointed to
in my previous message. I thought (2002?) that the "amulet" async arm
processor was going to sweep the world for wireless-related circuits
because of the low self-noise...

Anyway, the shedding work problem and the unbounded queue problem are
distinctly different problems, thank you for helping me get the two
clear in my head vs language design!
