Various design concepts, circuit implementations, and methods are provided for implementing temporal memory. For example, temporal memories may perform both read and write operations using time-encoded wavefronts. A temporal memory may include a group of tunable delay components that 'store' time-encoding information. Using these delay components, the memory can perform a “read” operation by outputting wavefronts having the same or similar time-encoding as the stored wavefronts. Temporal memories may allow for more energy-cost-efficient operation and may serve as building blocks for more complex temporal computational circuits.

Temporal memory systems and methods

Systems and methods are provided herein that implement and utilize temporal state machines and other temporal computational/memory circuits. For example, a temporal state machine is provided that comprises a temporal computational unit comprising at least one circuit to perform a time-domain operation, and a temporal memory unit. Both the temporal computational unit and temporal memory unit can operate using solely, or partially, time-encoded wavefronts. The computation unit accesses time-encoded wavefronts from the memory and can output and write time-encoded wavefronts back to the memory.

Timing-based computer architecture systems and methods

A quasi-systolic array includes: a primary quasi-systolic processor; an edge row bank and edge column bank of edge quasi-systolic processors; and an interior bank of interior quasi-systolic processors. The primary quasi-systolic processor, edge quasi-systolic processor, and interior quasi-systolic processor independently include a quasi-systolic processor and are disposed and electrically connected in rows and columns in the quasi-systolic array.
