Abstract
Embodiments are provided for an asynchronous processor with heterogeneous processors. In an embodiment, the apparatus for an asynchronous processor comprises a memory configured to cache instructions, and a first unit (XU) configured to processing a first instruction of the instructions. The apparatus also comprises a second XU having less restricted access than the first XU to a resource of the asynchronous processor and configured to process a second instruction of the instructions. The second instruction requires access to the resource. The apparatus further comprises a feedback engine configured to decode the first instruction and the second instruction, and issue the first instruction to the first XU, and a scheduler configured to send the second instruction to the second XU.
