- Sept. 17th The course is given in the Bedri Karafakioğlu seminar room (third floor), EEF.
Overview
As current CMOS based technologies are approaching their anticipated limits, emerging nanotechnologies and new computing paradigms are expected to be used in future electronic circuits. This course overviews nanoelectronic circuits in a comparison with those of conventional CMOS-based. Deterministic and probobalistic emerging computing models as well as related algorithms and CAD tools are investigated. Regarding the interdisciplinary nature of emerging technologies, this course is appropriate for graduate students in different majors including electronics engineering, control engineering, computer science, applied physics, and mathematics. No prior course is required; only basic (college-level) knowledge in circuit design and mathematics is assumed. Topics that are covered include:
- Circuit elements and devices in computational nanoelectronics (in comparison with CMOS) including nano-crossbar switches, reversible quantum gates, approximate circuits and systems, and emerging transistors.
- Introduction of emerging computing models and algorithms in circuit level.
- Analysis and synthesis of deterministic and probabilistic computing paradigms.
- Performance of the computing models regarding area, power, speed, and accuracy.
- Uncertainty and faults: fault analysis and tolerance techniques for permanent and transient faults.
