From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Amulet
  
      An implementation or the {Advanced RISC Machine}
      {microprocessor} architecture using the {micropipeline} design
      style.   In April 1994 the Amulet group in the Computer Science
      department of {Manchester University} took delivery of the
      AMULET1 {microprocessor}.   This was their first large scale
      asynchronous circuit and the world's first implementation of a
      commercial microprocessor architecture (ARM) in {asynchronous
      logic}.
  
      Work was begun at the end of 1990 and the design despatched
      for fabrication in February 1993.   The primary intent was to
      demonstrate that an asynchronous microprocessor can consume
      less power than a synchronous design.
  
      The design incorporates a number of concurrent units which
      cooperate to give instruction level compatibility with the
      existing synchronous part.   These include an Address unit,
      which autonomously generates instruction fetch requests and
      interleaves ({nondeterministic}ally) data requests from the
      Execution unit; a {Register} file which supplies operands,
      queues write destinations and handles data dependencies; an
      Execution unit which includes a multiplier, a shifter and an
      {ALU} with data-dependent delay; a Data interface which
      performs byte extraction and alignment and includes an
      {instruction prefetch} buffer, and a control path which
      performs {instruction decode}.   These units only synchronise
      to exchange data.
  
      The design demonstrates that all the usual problems of
      processor design can be solved in this asynchronous framework:
      backward {instruction set} compatibility, {interrupts} and
      exact {exceptions} for {memory faults} are all covered.   It
      also demonstrates some unusual behaviour, for instance
      {nondeterministic} prefetch depth beyond a branch instruction
      (though the instructions which actually get executed are, of
      course, deterministic).   There are some unusual problems for
      {compiler} {optimisation}, as the metric which must be used to
      compare alternative code sequences is continuous rather than
      discrete, and the {nondeterminism} in external behaviour must
      also be taken into account.
  
      The chip was designed using a mixture of custom {datapath} and
      compiled control logic elements, as was the synchronous ARM.
      The fabrication technology is the same as that used for one
      version of the synchronous part, reducing the number of
      variables when comparing the two parts.
  
      Two silicon implementations have been received and preliminary
      measurements have been taken from these.   The first is a 0.7um
      process and has achieved about 28 kDhrystones running the
      standard {benchmark} program.   The other is a 1 um
      implementation and achieves about 20 kDhrystones.   For the
      faster of the parts this is equivalent to a synchronous {ARM6}
      clocked at around 20MHz; in the case of AMULET1 it is likely
      that this speed is limited by the memory system cycle time
      (just over 50ns) rather than the processor chip itself.
  
      A fair comparison of devices at the same geometries gives the
      AMULET1 performance as about 70% of that of an {ARM6} running
      at 20MHz.   Its power consumption is very similar to that of
      the ARM6; the AMULET1 therefore delivers about 80 MIPS/W
      (compared with around 120 from a 20MHz ARM6).   Multiplication
      is several times faster on the AMULET1 owing to the inclusion
      of a specialised asynchronous multiplier.   This performance is
      reasonable considering that the AMULET1 is a first generation
      part, whereas the synchronous ARM has undergone several design
      iterations.   AMULET2 (currently under development) is expected
      to be three times faster than AMULET1 - 120 k{dhrystones} -
      and use less power.
  
      The {macrocell} size (without {pad ring}) is 5.5 mm by 4.5 mm
      on a 1 micron {CMOS} process, which is about twice the area of
      the synchronous part.   Some of the increase can be attributed
      to the more sophisticated organisation of the new part: it has
      a deeper {pipeline} than the clocked version and it supports
      multiple outstanding memory requests; there is also
      specialised circuitry to increase the multiplication speed.
      Although there is undoubtedly some overhead attributable to
      the asynchronous control logic, this is estimated to be closer
      to 20% than to the 100% suggested by the direct comparison.
  
      AMULET1 is code compatible with {ARM6} and is so is capable of
      running existing {binaries} without modification.   The
      implementation also includes features such as interrupts and
      memory aborts.
  
      The work was part of a broad {ESPRIT} funded investigation
      into low-power technologies within the European {Open
      Microprocessor systems Initiative} (OMI) programme, where
      there is interest in low-power techniques both for portable
      equipment and (in the longer term) to alleviate the problems
      of the increasingly high dissipation of high-performance
      chips.   This initial investigation into the role {asynchronous
      logic} might play has now demonstrated that asynchronous
      techniques can be applied to problems of the scale of a
      complete {microprocessor}.
