		As they die, there doesn't seem to be any gross underperformance in the brain," said Steve Furber of the University of Manchester in the U.K., leader of the Spinnaker project.
		The idea, said Furber, is to mimic that kind of biological robustness in components of future electronic devices — which, as they inevitably shrink to smaller and smaller sizes, are likely to experience more and more failures.
		Furber's electronic version will contain silicon chips equipped with 20 tiny processors each, 19 of which will be designed to behave as neurons.

		Steve Furber, ICL professor of computer engineering at the University of Manchester, codesigned the ARM chip while working at Acorn Computer in the early 1980s, and the basic architecture remains unchanged.
		Furber worked on plans to spin ARM off into a separate company, but none succeeded and Furber left for the chair at Manchester.
		Furber views his sabbatical, part of which will be spent in Sun Microsystems’ asynchronous design group in California, as a chance to “get a bit more momentum” into the research efforts he plans to spearhead when he returns to full-time teaching.

	EETimes.com - Asynchronous ARM core nears commercial debut
		Furber said that the design of the newest version of the core, called Amulet3H, was due to be completed about the end of the year.
		Because asynchronous chips are made from self-timed units and do not have all the circuits switching together in response to a clock signal, the RF noise generated by such chips is better than that from clocked chips, with less harmonics and smaller noise spikes.
		Furber said that the Amulet3 core represents an extensive redesign of the logic in Amulet2.

		Steve Furber was one of the 12 lecturers and Lee Lloyd (Newcastle) and I were among the 80 other participants.
		I did not get the impression, however, that this work could be readily exploited, e.g., optimizations estimated (using probabilities assigned to different inputs) at providing 15% power savings for a similar increase in area.
		Steve Furber made a nice point about the importance of good code density for low-power microprocessors because of the power dissipated in fetching each instruction from off chip.

	Computer Clocks Wind Down (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In the early days of computing, both asynchronous and synchronous circuits were used in computers, but the latter came to dominate because they were easier to design, test and debug.
		This has forced designers to resort to ever more complex and expensive solutions, such as elaborate hierarchies of busses and circuits that adjust clock readings at various chip locales.
		Self-Timed Solutions, a Manchester-based start-up co-founded by Furber, has prototype chips of the latter type that it calls "self-timed interconnects." Furber describes his chips as asynchronous "network fabrics" into which it's easy to plug synchronous and asynchronous "clients"—such as processors or memory blocks that operate at different frequencies.

		University brains like Steve Furber and Roger Wilson, then undergraduates, provided much of the programming and design input, and it was Wilson who invented the machine to beat Sinclair's MK14.
