PCMOS

<p>Probabilistic complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (PCMOS) is a <a href="/facts/Semiconductor/zFf3mGTE">semiconductor</a> manufacturing technology invented by Pr. <a href="/facts/Krishna_Palem/5pWpL3g3">Krishna Palem</a> of <a href="/facts/Rice_University/YvEYoWMn">Rice University</a> and Director of NTU's Institute for Sustainable Nanoelectronics (ISNE). The technology hopes to compete against current <a href="/facts/CMOS/NJIWYgBl">CMOS</a> technology. Proponents claim it uses one thirtieth as much electricity while running seven times faster than the current fastest technology.
</p><p>PCMOS-based <a href="/facts/System_on_a_chip/1RVvVe6N">system on a chip</a> architectures were shown to be gains that are as high as a substantial multiplicative factor of 560 when compared to a competing energy-efficient <a href="/facts/CMOS/NJIWYgBl">CMOS</a> based realization on applications based on <a href="/facts/Probabilistic_algorithms/Fngl1zgk">probabilistic algorithms</a> such as <a href="/facts/Hyper-encryption/QI1jIq6e">hyper-encryption</a>, <a href="/facts/Bayesian_networks/Ry31vq6T">bayesian networks</a>, random neural networks and <a href="/facts/Probabilistic_cellular_automata/2d0tPcuA">probabilistic cellular automata</a>.
