    摘要: An architecture for nanoscale electronics is disclosed. The architecture comprises arrays of crossed nanoscale wires having selectively programmable crosspoints. Nanoscale wires of one array are shared by other arrays, thus providing signal propagation between the arrays. Nanoscale signal restoration elements are also provided, allowing an output of a first array to be used as an input to a second array. Signal restoration occurs without routing of the signal to non-nanoscale wires.

    摘要: An apparatus and methods for a sublithographic programmable logic array (PLA) are disclosed. The apparatus allows combination of non-restoring, programmable junctions and fixed (non-programmable) restoration logic to implement any logic function or any finite-state machine. The methods disclosed teach how to integrate fixed, restoration logic at sublithographic scales along with programmable junctions. The methods further teach how to integrate addressing from the microscale so that the nanoscale crosspoint junctions can be programmed after fabrication.

    摘要: A programmable integrated circuit utilizes a large number of intermediate-grain processing elements which are multibit processing units arranged in a configurable mesh. The coarse-grain resources, such as memory and processing, are deployable in a way that takes advantage of the opportunities for optimization present in given problems. To accomplish this, the interconnect supports three different modes of operation: a static value in which a value set by the configuration data is provided to a functional unit, static source in which another functional unit serves as the value source, and a dynamic source mode in which the source is determined by the value from another functional unit.

    摘要: A network for interconnecting processing element nodes which supports rich interconnection while having a number of switching elements which is linear in the number of processing elements interconnected. Processing elements connect to the lowest level of the tree and the higher levels of the tree make connections between the processing elements. The processing elements may be laid out in a two dimensional grid and one or more horizontal and vertical trees may be used to connect between the processing elements with corner switches used to connect between the horizontal and vertical trees. The levels of the tree can be accommodated in multiple layers of metalization such that the entire layout requires a two-dimensional area which is linear in the number of processing elements supported.

    摘要: A method and a device for performing placement of a plurality of elements for circuit design. A potential location is assigned to each element and a placement engine is assigned to each potential location. Pairing operations are performed, in parallel, between placement engines to determine whether to perform exchange of the elements associated with the engines. Exchange determination is based both on a cost function and on randomness considerations. Also self-placement is allowed, where the placement engines are implemented on the same hardware system on which the elements are to be placed.

    摘要: A fast router and a fast hardware-assisted routing method are disclosed in a network having endpoints, switches and interconnect links. The switches are programmable to allow endpoints to be connected through a particular configuration of switches. The switches also comprise: propagation circuitry which allows a search signal to be propagated through the network; allocation circuitry to set the configuration of switches once a path has been found; and deallocation circuitry to clear a configuration of switches once no path has been found.
