A photograph of the developed prototype. The system is designed such that the spintronic probabilistic bit comprising a stochastic magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) [left] generates a physical random ...

Researchers at Tohoku University and the University of California Santa Barbara created a prototype of a heterogeneous probabilistic computer that combines a CMOS circuit with a limited number of ...

As CMOS technology reaches the nanoscale level, researchers are looking at 'noise' and other perturbations. And some of them at the Georgia Institute of Technology have taken advantage of this 'noise' ...

*Okay, I hate to blog press releases, but this one just hits me from too many angles. SUMMARY: In the first real-world test of a revolutionary type of computing that thrives on random errors, ...

Field-effect transistors based on carbon nanotubes have been shown to be faster and less energy consuming than their silicon counterparts. However, ensuring these advantages are maintained for ...

Rice University's technology for a "gambling" computer chip, which could boost battery life as much as tenfold on cell phones and laptops while slashing development costs for chipmakers, has been ...

Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

Design of CMOS digital integrated circuits, concentrating on device, circuit, and architectural issues. Analysis and design techniques in custom integrated circuit design, standard cells, memory. Use ...

Didn't you hate when your college calculus processor insisted that an answer had to be "exact," and that "close enough" just wouldn't cut it? Clearly, you should have attended Rice University or ...
