Special Issue on Architecture Advances Enabled by Emerging Technologies
• | Guest Editors’ Introduction: Special Issue on Architecture Advances Enabled by Emerging Technologies |
As we approach the twilight of Moore’s Law and dimensional scaling of advanced CMOS technologies, many beyond-CMOS logic and memory device technologies are being explored. In order to fully exploit the promises of these emerging technologies, we need major simultaneous advances in architecture and design, especially for the new computing workloads in future intelligent IoT systems. This special issue presents five articles that describe emerging opportunities for such technologydesign- architecture co-optimizations. View full article (PDF). |
• | Computing with High-Dimensional Vectors |
Editor's note: The author reviews the principles of high-dimensional (HD) computing as a brain-inspired paradigm, with variables and operations encoded in vectors with high dimensionality (e.g., 10,000). read more. View full article (PDF). |
• | Voltage-Driven Building Block for Hardware Belief Networks |
Editor's note: In this article, the authors present a hardware building block for probabilistic spin logic (PSL) consisting of a probabilistic bit (p-bit) made from an embedded low-barrier unstable magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) and a capacitive voltage adder. read more. View full article (PDF). |
