The NASA Astrophysics Program

NASA's scientists are enjoying unprecedented access to astronomy data from space, both from missions launched and operated only by NASA, as well as missions led by other space agencies to which NASA contributed instruments or technology. This paper describes the NASA astrophysics program for the next decade, including NASA's response to the ASTRO2010 Decadal Survey

Intrinsic Evolution of Controllable Oscillators in FPTA-2

Abstract. Simple one- and two-bit controllable oscillators were intrin-sically evolved using only four cells of Field Programmable Transistor Array (FPTA-2). These oscillators can produce different oscillations for different setting of control signals. Therefore, they could be used, in prin-ciple, to compose complex networks of oscillators that could exhibit rich dynamical behavior in order to perform a computation or to model a desired system.
