- Abstract
Processing-in-memory (PIM) is a computing paradigm through which computations and processing can be performed within the memory of a computer, server, or related devices. There are several ways to implement PIM architectures, but the combination of Akers array and quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) helps to achieve high-speed computing at the nanoscale. In this research, a novel PIM architecture is designed using Akers array based on binary QCA (BQCA) and ternary QCA (TQCA). Ternary systems are more efficient in performing logic operations, so they can positively affect the performance of PIM. To evaluate the performance of the proposed BQCA PIM cell, NAND and NOR gates are used. The evaluation results indicate the superiority of the proposed BQCA and TQCA PIM architectures over conventional computing paradigms in terms of area occupation and complexity.
