In reality, the only thing that the asynchronous movement is telling me
right now is that nobody knows how to intelligently manage clocks anymore.
Translation: too many designers only know verilog/VHDL and can't actually
do real, physical layer, transistor design.
Probably true. My degree is in CompE from UIUC. A pretty well respected
school in the field. Processor design was a required course, and taught you
VHDL (at least the basics). Chip layouts and how transistors are made (n
and p silicon, worrying about capacitance and indutance and all that stuff)
was a separate, optional course. Few took it and most dropped it (including
myself, although by that time I had decided to go into software).
