This book analyzes energy and reliability as major challenges faced
by designers of computing frameworks in the nanometer technology
regime. The authors describe the existing solutions to
address these challenges and then reveal a new reconfigurable
computing platform, which leverages high-density nanoscale memory
for both data storage and computation to maximize the
energy-efficiency and reliability. The energy and reliability
benefits of this new paradigm are illustrated and the design
challenges are discussed. Various hardware and software aspects of
this exciting computing paradigm are described, particularly with
respect to hardware-software co-designed frameworks, where the
hardware unit can be reconfigured to mimic diverse application
behavior. Finally, the energy-efficiency of the paradigm
described is compared with other, well-known reconfigurable
computing platforms.
