Three-Dimensional Nanobiocomputing Architectures with aleph-Hypercells: Revolutionary Super-High-Performance Computing Platform

Abstract

Microsystems and Nanotechnologies developed a revolutionary 3D3 (Hardware-Software-Nanotechnology) technology to design three-dimensional (3D) nanobiocomputing architectures and Integrated Circuits (ICs). Our technology was based on the design of 3D computing architectures utilizing a threefold solution: (1) innovative hardware (device/module/system-level and 3D ICs); (2) novel software - Computer Aided Design (CAD) supported by new synthesis and design methods; and (3) enabling nanotechnology. The solution and innovations developed ensure information processing pre-eminence and computing superiority. We departed from conventional planar IC design (VLSI, ULSI and postULSI) and von Neumann architectures. Novel technologies of massive parallel distributed (pipelined due to systolic processing) computing and information processing in 3D were utilized using devised neuronal-hypercells (Hebrew aleph (uppercase)) that result in 3D topologies, organizations and architectures. In general, Hebrew aleph(upper case)-hypercells significantly increased the number of bits of information processed and exchanged to compute complex switching functions. Novel highly-efficient synthesis taxonomy and design concepts were developed and demonstrated. The design was accomplished utilizing linear decision diagrams and linear systolic arrays. We integrated fundamental and applied research within innovative computing and molecular electronics technologies, developing representative CAD and sound proof-of-concept software tools.
