Disruptive logic architectures and technologies: from device to system level

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 emergingtechnology 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, Monolithic3-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. INDICE: Introduction.- Part I: Background.- Background and Motivation.- Part II: Incremental Logic and Design.- Innovative Structures for Routing and Configuration.- Architectural Impact of 3-D Configuration and Routing Schemes.- Part III: Disruptive Logic Design.- Disruptive Logic Blocks.- Disruptive Architectural Proposals and Performance Analysis.- Conclusions and Contributions.
