World's First Carbon Nanotube Computer from Stanford (2013)

A Carbon Nanotube with its unique properties are a big breakthrough for electronics. Due to their thermal conductivity, mechanical and electrical properties, they find applications as additives to various structural materials. A team of Stanford engineers have taken this and built a basic computer harnessing the huge energy conservation capabilities and thereby promising to extend 'Moore's Law' for years to come. Intel co-founder G…

Non-Synthesizable VHDL Code: Constructs to Avoid and Their Fixes

Non-synthesizable VHDL is code that simulates correctly but that a synthesis tool cannot turn into gates and flip-flops, or turns into something different from what the simulator showed. The usual culprits are timing delays ( wait for , after ), initial values relied on in ASICs, processes with several different clock conditions, clock edges combined with else or wait , and testbench-only features such as file I/O. The fix is almost always to r…
