  1. Computing Beyond CMOS Intense research into novel materials and devices: Carbon Nanotubes… Biological Processes… Molecular Switches… IWLS 2007

  2. c Computing Beyond CMOS Many technologies still in exploratory phase: ! IWLS 2007

  3. Nanoscale Circuits Identify general traits that impinge upon logic synthesis: • Topological constraints. • Inherent randomness. • High defect rates. Features: • High density of bits. Challenges: carbon nanowire crossbar IWLS 2007

  4. Synthesis of Stochastic Logic Given a technology characterized by: • Circuit that computes a probability distribution corresponding to a logical specification. • High degree of structural parallelism. • Inherent randomness in logic/interconnects. Synthesize: Strategy: • Cast problem in terms of arithmetic operations. • Perform synthesis with binary moment diagrams. IWLS 2007

  5. Probabilistic Bundles 0 1 x 0 X 0 1 A real value x in [0, 1] is encoded as a stream of bits X.For each bit, the probability that it is one is: P(X=1) = x. IWLS 2007

  7. Synthesis Strategy • From circuit, construct a data structure called a multiplicative binary moment diagram (*BMD). • Manipulate the *BMD into the right form. • Implement a stochastic circuit with Shuffled AND gates and Bundleplexors. IWLS 2007
