It looks like the processor is a classic asynchronous logic design that
happens to use Harvard architecture and *in-core* memory for the
instruction store (which is how single-"cycle" performance is achieved).  I
don't see what's actually new design-wise, otherwise.  It IS interesting to
see the performance figures though, and I'm happy that interest in
asynchronous logic (especially in FPGAs) is still a thing.  I'm a big fan
of async logic.

Thanks for mentioning this!
