an asynchronous form of pipeline processor has a storage capability for partially processed data . when the processor is empty , it functions as a combinatorial circuit producing resultant data processed as desired . as necessary , the processor registers data , however , it continues to advance other data as rapidly as possible . a control unit individually provides binary control signals to a plurality of processing apparatus to maintain order with respect to processing and storing data . switching structures controlled by the control unit along with amplifiers are provided at the input and output of individual processors to set the processing apparatus to process or store data . processing several sets of data simultaneously while preserving proper order enables the system to do logic and arithmetic processing at a relatively high speed .
