[edit] intro
It seems like a worthy subject. But you need to be more intro-like in your intro. I happen to know what you are talking about, but most people would not have a clue after reading the intro :). Thue 20:46, 21 May 2004 (UTC)
- Hopefully the intro is now easier for beginners to understand. It's a technically involved subject, which makes the intro probably the hardest part to write and I wouldn't mind if someone else who knows something about the subject wants to take a stab at it. CyborgTosser 20:42, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Rename to Dynamic Logic somehow
I've been working in Silicon Valley in the field of logic and circuit design, for CPUs and later, ASICs, since 1992. I've talked with people on at least seven different full-custom CPU design teams. I've never head anyone refer to dynamic logic as "clocked logic". I may have seen this in the literature, however. Didn't Svennson refer to his latches as "clocked CMOS"?
I think "Clocked logic" is pretty nonstandard, and "dynamic logic" would be better. Furthermore, my guess is that there are at least thousands of circuit designers who are familiar with the term "dynamic logic" as it relates to circuits, and use it at least once a month. (Basis: there are at least 3000 people at ISSCC every year, many more that can't go for various reasons, and everyone I've talked to there knows what dynamic logic is at it applies to circuits.) I highly doubt there are anywhere near that many researchers in AI who use the phrase "dynamic logic"... there's just not enough economic activity there to pay all those people.
So I think this "clocked logic" article should be renamed "dynamic logic", and the article currently at "dynamic logic" should be renamed something else again.

I agree with Iains statement. It should be called dynamic logic, not clocked logic. Clocked logic to me is the "normal" single-phase kind of logic.
The "Svennson" Iain refer to is Prof Christer Svensson from University of Linköping, Sweden.
[edit] Merge with dynamic logic
It seems like this page needs to be merged with dynamic logic - both pages say that they are synonymous, however they have completely separate articles. odd. Fresheneesz 09:00, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- never mind... I didn't read carefully Fresheneesz 20:37, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What's the advantage?
Great article so far, I understand the material presented, but feel like there's something missing: why? The intro says that there are certian situations where dynamic logic has an advantage, but nothing expands on what those situations are.
