Superconductive logic based on Josephson junctions (JJ) is a promising technology for energy efficient supercomputers and cloud computing. This technology can deliver significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency as compared to CMOS. Superconductive circuits, however, suffer from low density integration as compared to CMOS, primarily due to the limited scalability of the inductors. To improve the scalability of superconductive logic, a logic family based on a novel JJ technology, 2ϕ -JJ, has been proposed that eliminates the inductors. In this brief, three circuits are presented which exploit this scalable inductor-less technology. This novel 2ϕ -JJ technology represents the data as half flux quantum (HFQ) pulses, which improves the energy efficiency and speed as compared to standard superconductive logic such as rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ). Unlike RSFQ, the proposed circuits dynamically switch upon receiving an HFQ pulse, saving energy. These 2ϕ -JJ logic circuits operate 2.25X faster and require 2.6X less energy as compared to RSFQ.

"Efficient Training of the Memristive Deep Belief Net Immune to Non-Idealities of the Synaptic Devices", Advanced Intelligent Systems, Vol. 4, No. 5, pp. 22100249, May 2022.
The tunability of conductance states of various emerging nonvolatile memristive devices emulates the plasticity of biological synapses, making it promising in the hardware realization of large-scale neuromorphic systems. The inference of the neural network can be greatly accelerated by the vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) performed within a crossbar array of memristive devices in one step.
Nevertheless, the implementation of the VMM needs complex peripheral circuits, and the complexity further increases as non-idealities of memristive devices prevent precise conductance tuning (especially for the online training) and largely degrade the performance of the deep neural networks (DNNs). Herein, an efficient online training method of the memristive deep belief net (DBN) is presented. The proposed memristive DBN uses stochastically binarized activations, reducing the complexity of peripheral circuits, and uses the contrastive divergence (CD)-based gradient descent learning algorithm. The analog VMM and digital CD are performed separately in a mixed-signal hardware arrangement,
making the memristive DBN highly immune to non-idealities of synaptic devices.
The number of write operations on memristive devices is reduced by two orders of magnitude. The recognition accuracy of 95–97% can be achieved for the MNIST dataset using pulsed synaptic behaviors of various memristive synaptic devices.

Superconductive logic based on Josephson junctions (JJ) is a promising technology for energy efficient supercomputers and cloud computing. This technology can deliver significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency as compared to CMOS. Superconductive circuits, however, suffer from low density integration as compared to CMOS, primarily due to the limited scalability of the inductors. To improve the scalability of superconductive logic, a logic family based on a novel JJ technology, 2ϕ -JJ, has been proposed that eliminates the inductors. In this brief, three circuits are presented which exploit this scalable inductor-less technology. This novel 2ϕ -JJ technology represents the data as half flux quantum (HFQ) pulses, which improves the energy efficiency and speed as compared to standard superconductive logic such as rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ). Unlike RSFQ, the proposed circuits dynamically switch upon receiving an HFQ pulse, saving energy. These 2ϕ -JJ logic circuits operate 2.25X faster and require 2.6X less energy as compared to RSFQ.

In this brief, three circuits are presented which exploit this scalable inductor-less technology. This novel 2ϕ -JJ technology represents the data as half flux quantum (HFQ) pulses, which improves the energy efficiency and speed as compared to standard superconductive logic such as rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ). Unlike RSFQ, the proposed circuits dynamically switch upon receiving an HFQ pulse, saving energy. These 2ϕ -JJ logic circuits operate 2.25X faster and require 2.6X less energy as compared to RSFQ.

Superconductive logic based on Josephson junctions (JJ) is a promising technology for energy efficient supercomputers and cloud computing. This technology can deliver significant improvements in performance and energy efficiency as compared to CMOS. Superconductive circuits, however, suffer from low density integration as compared to CMOS, primarily due to the limited scalability of the inductors. To improve the scalability of superconductive logic, a logic family based on a novel JJ technology, 2ϕ -JJ, has been proposed that eliminates the inductors. In this brief, three circuits are presented which exploit this scalable inductor-less technology. This novel 2ϕ -JJ technology represents the data as half flux quantum (HFQ) pulses, which improves the energy efficiency and speed as compared to standard superconductive logic such as rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ).
