    摘要: A three dimensional multilayer circuit (600) includes a plurality of crossbar arrays (512) made up of intersecting crossbar segments (410, 420) and programmable crosspoint devices (514) interposed between the intersecting crossbar segments (410, 420). Shift pins (505, 510) are used to shift connection domains (430) of the intersecting crossbar segments (410, 420) between stacked crossbar arrays (512) such that the programmable crosspoint devices (514) are uniquely addressed. The shift pins (505, 510) make electrical connections between crossbar arrays (512) by passing vertically between crossbar segments (410, 510) in the first crossbar array (512) and crossbar segments in a second crossbar array. A method for transforming multilayer circuits is also described.

    摘要: A hierarchical on-chip memory (400) includes an area distributed CMOS layer (310) comprising input/output functionality and volatile memory and via array (325, 330), the area distributed CMOS layer (310) configured to selectively address the via array (325, 330). A crossbar memory (305) overlies the area distributed CMOS layer (310) and includes programmable crosspoint devices (315) which are uniquely accessed through the via array (325, 330). A method for utilizing hierarchical on-chip memory (400) includes storing frequently rewritten data in a volatile memory and storing data which is not frequently rewritten in a non-volatile memory (305), where the volatile memory is contained within an area distributed CMOS layer (310) and the non-volatile memory (305) is formed over and accessed through the area distributed CMOS layer (310).

    摘要: Shiftable memory employs ring registers to shift a contiguous subset of data words stored in the ring registers within the shiftable memory. A shiftable memory includes a memory having built-in word-level shifting capability. The memory includes a plurality of ring registers to store data words. A contiguous subset of data words is shiftable between sets of the ring registers of the plurality from a first location to a second location within the memory. The contiguous subset of data words has a size that is smaller than a total size of the memory. The memory shifts only data words stored inside the contiguous subset when the contiguous subset is shifted.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a family of image-rotation prisms. Each image-rotation prism has the property that as an image-rotation prism is rotated, an image passing through the image-rotation prism rotates at twice the angular rate of the image-rotation prism. Embodiments of the present invention include optical systems that can be used for board-to-board communications and employ the image-rotation prisms to compensate for arbitrary axial rotations and misalignment of optical signals and can be used to direct optical signals output from transmitters on one board to particular detectors of a detector arrangement located on an adjacent board.
