There exists a set of reversible primitive modules that may be combined according to a set of simple rules to create larger systems, which are themselves reversible primitive modules. These modules may be combined to create a fully reversible, universal computer. I describe techniques for creating reversible primitive modules from simple switches, such as conventional CMOS transistors, and the ...

IONS AND METHODOLOGY Computer architecture’s heavy emphasis on simulation effectively discourages the research community from exploring other useful and possibly more informative modeling techniques. The few published papers using and proposing analytic models have not stimulated significant follow-up efforts. Stories abound of such papers receiving knee-jerk negative rejections from program co...

Three-dimensional (3D) computer graphics hardware has emerged as an integral part of mainstream desktop PC systems. The aim of this paper is to describe the 3D graphics architecture at a level accessible to the general computational science community. We start with the generic 3D graphics rendering algorithm, the computational requirements of each of its steps, and the basic architectural featu...

Reversible logic plays an important role in emerging low power designs and quantum computing. This paper presents an efficient way to realize reversible arithmetic circuits especially targeting toward reversible arithmetic logic unit (RALU). In literature for reversible logic, not a significant advancement is found in integrating both logical and arithmetical functions, commonly known as arithm...
