Each student in the class will choose a topic related to computer architecture and prepare a term paper according to the outline given below. You are free to choose your own topic. To do so, write a paragraph describing the topic and submit it to the instructor for approval. You may not do the same topic as one being done by another student. (In some cases, topics can be suitably modified so that you could be working on the same processor but a different aspect of the architecture.) If you do not choose a topic, one will be assigned by the instructor. A list of possible topics is given below:

subshifts are the limit set of a

This paper analyzes the effect of random phase shifts in the underlying clock signals on the operation of several basic Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) building blocks. Such phase shifts can result from manufacturing variations or from uneven path lengths in the clocking network. While previous

For a Streett automaton with n states and k pairs, Safra constructs a deterministic Rabin automaton with (nk) O(nk) states and n(k + 1) pairs. Here

investigate the special case where Y is a circular graph with n vertices and all of the local functions are identical. The 256 possible local functions are known as Wolfram rules and the resulting sequential dynamical systems are called finite asynchronous elementary cellular automata, or ACAs, since

The internal Power-On Reset (POR) initializes the I/Os as inputs. ■ 400 kHz I 2 C-bus interface ■ 2.3 V to 5.5 V operation with 5.5 V tolerant I/Os ■ 16-bit remote I/O pins that default to inputs at power

We study a binary-cell-states eight-cell neighborhood two-dimensional cellular automaton model of a quasi-chemical system with a substrate and a reagent. Reactions are represented by semi-totalistic transitions rules: every cell switches from state 0 to state 1 depending on if sum of neighbors
