Threshnomics: An Introduction to Threshold Logic in Algorithms and Circuits

Human intelligence is understood to be a result of collective decisions over a period of time with an objective to enforce a desired objective or activity. The neural understanding of the intelligence is reflective of a simplified behaviour of neurons and its networks. These neurons represent the building blocks of biological intelligence that is a collection of decision making units arranged i...

Algorithms and Lower Bounds for Threshold Circuits

A fundamental purpose of theory of computation is to understand differences between uniform computation and nonuniform one. In particular, Boolean circuit has been studied in an area of nonuniform computation models, because Boolean circuits are natural formalization of computer architecture and hardware. Boolean circuit is compared with uniform computation expressed as fixed size programs whic...

Reconfigurable magnetoelectronic circuits for threshold logic

Magnetoelectronic devices, which combine ferromagnetic materials with conventional silicon structures, o er the potential to add non-volatile storage to electronic systems, eliminating their vulnerability to data loss due to power supply interruptions. We present a set of circuits, based on the Hybrid Hall E ect device, that combine logic with non-volatile storage. These circuits can be con gur...

MOS Current Mode Logic Near Threshold Circuits

Near threshold circuits (NTC) are an attractive and promising technology that provides significant power savings with some delay penalty. The combination of NTC technology with MOS current mode logic (MCML) is examined in this work. By combining MCML with NTC, the constant power consumption of MCML is reduced to leakage power levels that can be tolerated in certain modern applications. Addition...
