The picture above is of the Caltech Asynchronous micro-processor. It operates without a clock and thus is an example of an asynchronous design. Here is a nice introduction to asynchronous design.
Designing asynchronous circuits without considerable computer assistance is bound to fail due to the inherent lack of global synchronization. One of the main goals is therefore to develop CAD tools for synthesis, analysis, and verification of asynchronous circuits.
