摘要
In a counterflow pipeline processor, instructions and results flow in opposite directions through a pipeline, interacting as they pass. Although detailed simulations of a complete processor design are not yet available, the architecture promises regularity in chip layout, local control to avoid performance limitations, and simplicity that may lead to provably correct designs. Moreover, CFPP designs allow asynchronous implementations more readily than conventional pipeline designs.
