Design of set-valued logic networks for wave-parallel computing

A design for set-valued logic (SVL) networks that provides a solution to interconnection problems in highly parallel VLSI systems is presented. The basic concept is frequency multiplexing of logic values, which enables the parallelism of electrical (or optical) waves to be used for parallel processing. This wave-parallel computing concept is capable of performing several independent binary functions in parallel with a single module. The systematic synthesis of a wave-parallel computing system is discussed, and the possible implementation of SVL networks is addressed
