Abstract :
A nanowire-based field-programmable computing platform is presented featuring intrinsic fine-grained device-level reconfiguration without emulation (i.e. no look-up tables involved) using programmable cross-nanowire transistors, and regular physical implementation with relaxed manufacturing requirements at nanoscale. This approach can potentially provide orders of magnitude benefits in terms of area, power and performance vs. scaled CMOS FPGA at lower cost.
