The use of nonvolatile logic-in-memory circuit architecture makes it possible to realize 6T-2MTJ TCAM cell structure. The 144-bit word match-line is divided into two parts (first 10-bit and last 134-bit parts), which greatly reduces the dynamic power dissipation with small overhead of the switching delay. In fact, it is evaluated by the HSPICE simulation under a 90nm CMOS/MTJ technology that the search energy (power-delay product) of the proposed TCAM is reduced to 16 percent in comparison with that of a nonvolatile TCAM without using a segmented match-line scheme.","PeriodicalId":234611,"journal":{"name":"2011 41st IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic","volume":"17 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133481810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed architectures are programmable, and they realize a wide range of numeric functions. To designan NFG for a given function, we partition the domain of the function into uniform segments, and transform a sub-function in each segment into an arithmetic spectrum. From this arithmetic spectrum, we derive an arithmetic expression, and realize the arithmetic expression with hardware. Since the arithmetic spectrum has many zero coefficients and repeated coefficients, by storing only distinct nonzero coefficients in atable, we can significantly reduce the table size needed to store arithmetic coefficients. Experimental results show that the table size can be reduced to only a small percent of the table size needed to store all the arithmetic coefficients. We also propose techniques to reduce table size further and to improve performance.","PeriodicalId":234611,"journal":{"name":"2011 41st IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127733735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FFT is the algorithm for efficient calculation of the Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and has been extended to computation of various Fourier-like transforms. The algorithm has a very regular structure that can be easily mapped to technology by replacing nodes in the corresponding flow-graphs by circuit modules performing the operations in the flow-graphs. In this way, networks with highly regular structure for implementing functions from their spectra are derived. Fourier transforms on non-Abelian groups offer additional advantages for reducing the required hardware due to matrix-valued spectral coefficients and the way how such coefficients are used in reconstructing the functions. Methods for optimization of spectral representations of functions on finite groups may be applied to improve networks with regular structure.","PeriodicalId":234611,"journal":{"name":"2011 41st IEEE International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129123913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the progress in the development of design methods for reversible circuits is reviewed -- with a particular focus on the synthesis steps. After a brief review on reversible circuits, the general idea of common synthesis approaches is described. This includes methods based on truth table descriptions, methods applicable to larger functions, and finally an approach based on a programming language.

This efficient testability is achieved only by as light change of the function in the partial product generators and an insertion of some testing inputs in the adders.
