Proposal Number: 304284Principal Investigators: R. Iris Bahar, Jie Chen, Joseph MundyInst: Brown UniversityProposal Title: NER: Y-Junction Nanotube-based Computer Devices and ArchitecturesThis research focuses on exploratory research in nano-scale computation. These new forms of computation will allow for moreefficient means of exploiting nano-scale electronics and devices thanthose based on traditional silicon-based computation. In particular,this research focuses on finding an effective means of dealing withhigh defect rates found in nano-scale devices and developing anarchitecture that is dynamically defect tolerant.Three areas are being developed: (1) Device models are being definedbased on Y-junction carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This work may includeuse of self-assembly capabilities to program interconnections of CNTdevices and build I/O interfaces. (2) A probabilistic-based designmethodology for nano-scale computer devices will be proposed based onthe Markov random network and brief propagation. This methodologyallows for an architecture that adapts to errors as a naturalconsequence of probability maximization, thereby removing the need toactually detect faults. (3) A new course in nano-computing will beintroduced in fall 2003. The course will offer a unique opportunityto expose students to the wide range of disciplines that influencenano-computing.

提案编号：304284主要研究者：R. Iris Bahar，Jie Chen，Joseph Mundy研究所：布朗大学提案标题： NER：Y结纳米管为基础的计算机设备和架构这项研究的重点是探索性的研究，在纳米尺度的计算。 这些新形式的计算将允许更有效的手段，利用纳米尺度的电子和设备比那些基于传统的硅基计算。 本论文的研究重点是寻找一种有效的方法来处理纳米级器件中的高缺陷率，并开发一种动态缺陷容限的结构，主要研究了三个方面：（1）基于Y结碳纳米管（CNTs）的器件模型的定义. 这项工作可能包括使用自组装能力来编程CNT设备的互连和构建I/O接口。(2)基于马尔可夫随机网络和简单传播理论，提出了一种基于概率的纳米级计算机器件设计方法。这种方法允许一个架构，适应错误的概率最大化的自然后果，从而消除了需要实际检测故障。(3)2003年秋季将开设一门新的纳米计算课程。 该课程将提供一个独特的机会，让学生接触到影响纳米计算的广泛学科。
