CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE Journal on Exploratory Solid-State Computational Devices and Circuits
Special Issue on “Modeling and simulation of emerging materials, devices and circuits for energy-efficient computing”.
Guest Editor: Sumeet K. Gupta, Purdue University, guptask@purdue.edu
Editor-in-Chief: Azad Naeemi, Georgia Institute of Technology, azad@gatech.edu
Aims and Scope
Standard Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology and its advanced flavors in the form of FinFETs have propelled the electronic industry to its extraordinary success. While the CMOS technology may continue to deliver its remarkably powerful performance to next generation computing platforms, it is quite clear that in the longer term, it has major challenges in scaling, suffers from power consumption and power density limitations and may not be amenable to the new demands of the emerging applications. This will require beyond-CMOS technologies to step in and augment CMOS. Whether it is the design of energy efficient scalable switches for logic design, or non-volatile memory, or the integration of memory and logic functionalities for general-purpose computers and application-specific accelerators, the need for the application of quantum materials to realize these new microelectronic devices has surged. To effectively utilize the unique and promising attributes of the emerging technologies, it is of paramount importance that their experimental discoveries and advancements are well supported by the understanding of the underlying physics and their implications at the materials, device, circuit, and system levels. To accelerate and achieve this, modeling of novel materials and devices is expected to play a major role. On one hand, the models should provide important physical insights into the material properties and the device operation and scalability; on the other hand, they should enable efficient and accurate estimations of the performance and energy efficiency of the circuits based on the emerging technologies. Therefore, models at different levels of design abstraction will be needed as we tackle the challenges of finding revolutionary breakthroughs in computing and storage.
As a step towards addressing this grand challenge of developing advanced modeling and simulation frameworks for the exploration of beyond CMOS devices, the IEEE Journal on Exploratory Computational Devices and Circuits (JXCDC) aims to bring together important and impactful works in this area in a special topic focusing on various aspects of modeling and simulations of emerging materials, devices and circuits for standard and beyond-von-Neumann computing. The scope of this issue spans ‘First-Principles Modeling’, “Physics-based Modeling” and Circuit-Compatible Modeling”.
