Race Logic: Novel Circuitry Solves a Myriad of Computationally Intensive Problems With a Minimum of Energy
NIST Race logic does indeed involve a race, but in this contest all the truck drivers initially drive in different directions. To determine which route to the final destination is fastest, they race over all possible routes through the different intermediate delivery points. In the new circuit, the NIST researchers inserted a group of time-encoded signals at the starting point, each acting as a different driver that speeds through the team’s simulated hardware circuit. Whenever a driver arrives at one of her intermediate destination points in the race, the model system sends out new drive...
