Synthesis, Technology Mapping and Optimization for Emerging Technologies

摘要

As the CMOS technology scaling is facing fundamental issues, its inevitable demise is being closely followed by the rise of novel beyond-CMOS technologies. Among those, several compute-in-memory technologies (ReRAM, STTRAM) and quantum computing prominently stands out. For both of these classes of technologies, there is an urgent need of robust and efficient Electronic Design Automation flows. In this research, several EDA challenges for the emerging technologies are addresses, including technology mapping, and logic synthesis for in-memory computing and quantum computing. Furthermore, a novel, native implementation of fuzzy logic on ReRAM devices have been practically demonstrated.
