Sun Microsystems laboratory is building an experimental computer chip called FLEET which consists of computational elements called SHIPs connected through an asynchronous on-chip network. The team designed several simple SHIPs for addition to the chip as well as a programmable delay block for timing the SHIPs. The team also investigated the energy-delay tradeoffs of 32-bit static shifters and published the results, with the intent that the best design could be used in FLEET.
