One of the grand challenges in the nano-scopic computing era is
guarantees of robustness. Robust computing system design is
confronted with quantum physical, probabilistic, and even
biological phenomena, and guaranteeing high reliability is much
more difficult than ever before. Scaling devices down to the level
of single electron operation will bring forth new challenges due to
probabilistic effects and uncertainty in guaranteeing 'zero-one'
based computing. Minuscule devices imply billions of devices on a
single chip, which may help mitigate the challenge of uncertainty
by replication and redundancy. However, such device densities will
create a design and validation nightmare with the shear scale.
The questions that confront computer engineers regarding the
current status of nanocomputing material and the reliability of
systems built from such miniscule devices, are difficult to
articulate and answer. We have found a lack of resources in the
confines of a single volume that at least partially attempts to
answer these questions.
We believe that this volume contains a large amount of research
material as well as new ideas that will be very useful for some one
starting research in the arena of nanocomputing, not at the device
level, but the problems one would face at system level design and
validation when nanoscopic physicality will be present at the
device level.
