Instantaneous, non-squeezed, noise-based logic (1012.3531v1)

Abstract: Noise-based logic, by utilizing its multidimensional logic hyperspace, has significant potential for low-power parallel operations in beyond-Moore-chips. However universal gates for Boolean logic thus far had to rely on either time averaging to distinguish signals from each other or, alternatively, on squeezed logic signals, where the logic-high was represented by a random process and the logic-low was a zero signal. A major setback is that squeezed logic variables are unable to work in the hyperspace, because the logic-low zero value sets the hyperspace product vector to zero. This paper proposes Boolean universal logic gates that alleviate such shortcomings. They are able to work with non-squeezed logic values where both the high and low values are encoded into nonzero, bipolar, independent random telegraph waves. Non-squeezed universal Boolean logic gates for spike-based brain logic are also shown. The advantages vs. disadvantages of the two logic types are compared.
