A notation for designing restoring logic circuitry in CMOS

We introduce a programming notation in which every syntactically correct program specifies a restoring logic component, i.e., a component whose outputs are permanently connected, via "not too many" transistors, to the power supply. It is shown how the specified components can be translated into transistor diagrams for CMOS integrated circuits. As these components are designed as strict hierarchies, it is hoped that the translation of the transistor diagrams into layouts for integrated circuits can be accomplished mechanically

Cost and Performance of VLSI Computing Structures

Using VLSI technology, it will soon be possible to implement entire computing systems on one monolithic silicon chip. Conducting paths are required for communicating information throughout any integrated system. The length and organization of these communication paths place a lower bound on the area and time required for system operations. Optimal designs can be achieved in only a few of the many alternative structures. Two illustrative systems are analyzed in detail: a RAM-based system and an associative system. It is shown that in each case an optimum design is possible using the area-time product as a cost function

Minimum Propagation Delays in VLSI

Conditions are outlined under which propagation delays in VLSI circuits can be achieved that are logarithmic in the wire lengths. These conditions are imposed by area requirements and the velocity of light

Decentralized Token Economy Theory (DeTEcT)

This paper presents a pioneering approach for simulation of economic activity, policy implementation, and pricing of goods in token economies. The paper proposes a formal analysis framework for wealth distribution analysis and simulation of interactions between economic participants in an economy. Using this framework, we define a mechanism for identifying prices that achieve the desired wealth distribution according to some metric, and stability of economic dynamics. The motivation to study tokenomics theory is the increasing use of tokenization, specifically in financial infrastructures, where designing token economies is in the forefront. Tokenomics theory establishes a quantitative framework for wealth distribution amongst economic participants and implements the algorithmic regulatory controls mechanism that reacts to changes in economic conditions.\par In our framework, we introduce a concept of tokenomic taxonomy where agents in the economy are categorized into agent types and interactions between them. This novel approach is motivated by having a generalized model of the macroeconomy with controls being implemented through interactions and policies. The existence of such controls allows us to measure and readjust the wealth dynamics in the economy to suit the desired objectives.Comment: 24 pages, 5 figures, 8 table

Cost and Performance of VLSI Computing Structures

Using VLSI technology, it will soon be possible to implement entire computing systems on one monolithic Silicon chip. What will the nature of such systems be? How will they be designed? What will be their cost and performance? Conducting paths are required for communicating information throughout any integrated system. The length and organization of these communication paths places a lower bound on the area and time required for system operations. Optimal designs can be achieved in only a few of the many alternative structures. Two illustrative systems are analyzed in detail: a RAM based system and an associative system. It is shown that in each case an optimum design is possible, using the area – time product as a cost function
