Conceptual memristors have recently gathered wider interest due to their diverse application in non-von Neumann computing, machine learning, neuromorphic computing, and chaotic circuits. We introduce a compact CMOS circuit that emulates idealized memristor characteristics and can bridge the gap between concepts to chip-scale realization by transcending device challenges. The CMOS memristor circ...

Inexact (Approximate) computing is an attractive paradigm for digital processing. Inexact computing is particularly interesting for computer arithmetic designs. This project deals with the analysis and design of two new approximate 4-2 compressors for utilization in a multiplier. These designs rely on different features of compression, such that imprecision in computation can make up for circui...

Abs t r ac t . Valiant [12] showed that the clique function is structurally different than the majority function by establishing the following "switching lemma ~ : Any function f whose set of prime implicants is a large enough subset of the set of cliques (and thus requiring big ~2-circuits), has a large set of prime clauses (i.e., big II2-circuits). As a corollary, an exponential lower bound w...

Given a gate set S universal for quantum computing, the problem of decomposing a unitary operator U into a circuit over S is known as the synthesis problem. This problem can be solved exactly, if U belongs to the set of circuits generated by S. Otherwise, it can be solved approximately, by finding a circuit U ′ such that ||U ′ −U || < for some chosen precision > 0. The synthesis problem is impo...

Past and current campus data networks generally utilize connection-less network layer protocols like IP. Future networks are expected to use ATM which provides a connection-oriented service. New ATM switches are coming to market with baseline parameters such as the number of concurrent SVC’s supported and the number of call setups possible per second. These parameters will determine the usefuln...

the sulfur regulatory circuit of the filamentous fungus, neurospora crassa, consists of a set of unlinked structural genes which encode sulfur catabolic and two major regulatory genes which govern their expression. the cys-3 regulatory gene encode a transacting regulatory protein which activates the expression of cys-14 and ars, whereas the other regulatory genes scon-l and scon-2 appear to act...

   Historically, DNA molecules have been known as the building blocks of life, later on in 1994, Leonard Adelman introduced a technique to utilize DNA molecules for a new kind of computation. According to the massive parallelism, huge storage capacity and the ability of using the DNA molecules inside the living tissue, this type of computation is applied in many application areas such as me...

Timing Speculation (TS) is a widely known method for realizing better-than-worstcase systems. Aggressive clocking, realizable by TS, enable systems to operate beyond specified safe frequency limits to effectively exploit the data dependent circuit delay. However, the range of aggressive clocking for performance enhancement under TS is restricted by short paths. In this paper, we show that incre...
