Asynchronous Early Output Dual-Bit Full Adders Based on Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Delay-Insensitive Data Encoding
This paper presents the designs of asynchronous early output dual-bit full
adders without and with redundant logic (implicit) corresponding to homogeneous
and heterogeneous delay-insensitive data encoding. For homogeneous
delay-insensitive data encoding only dual-rail i.e. 1-of-2 code is used, and
for heterogeneous delay-insensitive data encoding 1-of-2 and 1-of-4 codes are
used. The 4-phase return-to-zero protocol is used for handshaking. To
demonstrate the merits of the proposed dual-bit full adder designs, 32-bit
ripple carry adders (RCAs) are constructed comprising dual-bit full adders. The
proposed dual-bit full adders based 32-bit RCAs incorporating redundant logic
feature reduced latency and area compared to their non-redundant counterparts
with no accompanying power penalty. In comparison with the weakly indicating
32-bit RCA constructed using homogeneously encoded dual-bit full adders
containing redundant logic, the early output 32-bit RCA comprising the proposed
homogeneously encoded dual-bit full adders with redundant logic reports
corresponding reductions in latency and area by 22.2% and 15.1% with no
associated power penalty. On the other hand, the early output 32-bit RCA
constructed using the proposed heterogeneously encoded dual-bit full adder
which incorporates redundant logic reports respective decreases in latency and
area than the weakly indicating 32-bit RCA that consists of heterogeneously
encoded dual-bit full adders with redundant logic by 21.5% and 21.3% with nil
power overhead. The simulation results obtained are based on a 32/28nm CMOS
process technology
Approximate Quantum Adders with Genetic Algorithms: An IBM Quantum Experience
It has been proven that quantum adders are forbidden by the laws of quantum
mechanics. We analyze theoretical proposals for the implementation of
approximate quantum adders and optimize them by means of genetic algorithms,
improving previous protocols in terms of efficiency and fidelity. Furthermore,
we experimentally realize a suitable approximate quantum adder with the cloud
quantum computing facilities provided by IBM Quantum Experience. The
development of approximate quantum adders enhances the toolbox of quantum
information protocols, paving the way for novel applications in quantum
technologies
Social Science and the District Court: The Observation of a Journeyman Trial Judge
The main objective of the thesis is to implement different architectures of 16-bit adders such as; Ripple CarryAdder (RCA), Manchester Carry Chain Adder (MCCA) and Kogge Stone Adder (KSA), in 65nm CMOS technology and to study their performance in terms of power, operating frequency and speed at near threshold operating regions. The performance of these adders are evaluated and compared with each other and a final conclusion is made as to which adder structure is more suitable for implementation in a 65nmtechnology for low power applications. Several optimisation techniques are performed for the adders to reduce the delay and power consumption. Propagation delay is the most critical or essential parameter to be considered, hence, to minimise the delay of the adder, a technique called sizing and ordering are required for the transistors. The purpose of the thesis is to make a fair comparison among adders over several metrics which include linearity, delay and power. Simulation results of MCCA achieved a greater significant performance upon or over RCA and KSA, and proved it is the best suitable adder for low power applications
Area/latency optimized early output asynchronous full adders and relative-timed ripple carry adders
This article presents two area/latency optimized gate level asynchronous full
adder designs which correspond to early output logic. The proposed full adders
are constructed using the delay-insensitive dual-rail code and adhere to the
four-phase return-to-zero handshaking. For an asynchronous ripple carry adder
(RCA) constructed using the proposed early output full adders, the
relative-timing assumption becomes necessary and the inherent advantages of the
relative-timed RCA are: (1) computation with valid inputs, i.e., forward
latency is data-dependent, and (2) computation with spacer inputs involves a
bare minimum constant reverse latency of just one full adder delay, thus
resulting in the optimal cycle time. With respect to different 32-bit RCA
implementations, and in comparison with the optimized strong-indication,
weak-indication, and early output full adder designs, one of the proposed early
output full adders achieves respective reductions in latency by 67.8, 12.3 and
6.1 %, while the other proposed early output full adder achieves corresponding
reductions in area by 32.6, 24.6 and 6.9 %, with practically no power penalty.
Further, the proposed early output full adders based asynchronous RCAs enable
minimum reductions in cycle time by 83.4, 15, and 8.8 % when considering
carry-propagation over the entire RCA width of 32-bits, and maximum reductions
in cycle time by 97.5, 27.4, and 22.4 % for the consideration of a typical
carry chain length of 4 full adder stages, when compared to the least of the
cycle time estimates of various strong-indication, weak-indication, and early
output asynchronous RCAs of similar size. All the asynchronous full adders and
RCAs were realized using standard cells in a semi-custom design fashion based
on a 32/28 nm CMOS process technology

Latency Optimized Asynchronous Early Output Ripple Carry Adder based on Delay-Insensitive Dual-Rail Data Encoding
Asynchronous circuits employing delay-insensitive codes for data
representation i.e. encoding and following a 4-phase return-to-zero protocol
for handshaking are generally robust. Depending upon whether a single
delay-insensitive code or multiple delay-insensitive code(s) are used for data
encoding, the encoding scheme is called homogeneous or heterogeneous
delay-insensitive data encoding. This article proposes a new latency optimized
early output asynchronous ripple carry adder (RCA) that utilizes single-bit
asynchronous full adders (SAFAs) and dual-bit asynchronous full adders (DAFAs)
which incorporate redundant logic and are based on the delay-insensitive
dual-rail code i.e. homogeneous data encoding, and follow a 4-phase
return-to-zero handshaking. Amongst various RCA, carry lookahead adder (CLA),
and carry select adder (CSLA) designs, which are based on homogeneous or
heterogeneous delay-insensitive data encodings which correspond to the
weak-indication or the early output timing model, the proposed early output
asynchronous RCA that incorporates SAFAs and DAFAs with redundant logic is
found to result in reduced latency for a dual-operand addition operation. In
particular, for a 32-bit asynchronous RCA, utilizing 15 stages of DAFAs and 2
stages of SAFAs leads to reduced latency. The theoretical worst-case latencies
of the different asynchronous adders were calculated by taking into account the
typical gate delays of a 32/28nm CMOS digital cell library, and a comparison is
made with their practical worst-case latencies estimated. The theoretical and
practical worst-case latencies show a close correlation....Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1704.0761
