Ultimate Theoretical Models of Nanocomputers
Goal of this Work
Who we are
Ultimate Models of Computation
Benefits of Ultimate Models
Physical Constraints Shaping the Ultimate Model
Limit on Processing Rate in Irreversible Computers
Reversible Logic Devices
Limit of Processing Rate in Reversible Machines
Spreading things out
A Proposed Ultimate Architecture
Caveats:
Algorithmic Issues
Entropy transport (cooling) technologies
Entropy generation in irreversible technologies
Entropy coefficients of reversible technologies
Scales above which reversible computing is a win
