About this title

Synopsis

This book discusses the opportunities offered by disruptive technologies to overcome the economical and physical limits currently faced by the electronics industry. It provides a new methodology for the fast evaluation of an emerging technology from an architectural prospective and discusses the implications from simple circuits to complex architectures. Several technologies are discussed, ranging from 3-D integration of devices (Phase Change Memories, Monolithic 3-D, Vertical NanoWires-based transistors) to dense 2-D arrangements (Double-Gate Carbon Nanotubes, Sublithographic Nanowires, Lithographic Crossbar arrangements). Novel architectural organizations, as well as the associated tools, are presented in order to explore this freshly opened design space.

Novel architectural organizations, as well as the associated tools, are presented in order to explore this freshly opened design space.

• Describes a novel architectural organization for future reconfigurable systems;
• Includes a complete benchmarking toolflow for emerging technologies;
• Generalizes the description of reconfigurable circuits in terms of hierarchical levels;
• Assesses disruptive logic blocks, using functionality-increased and density-increased devices.
