Description
Book SynopsisThis volume reports new developments on work in the Quantum Flux Parametron (QFP) project. It makes complete a series on Josephson Supercomputers, which includes four earlier volumes, also published by World Scientific. QFP technology has great potential especially in the design of computer architecture. It is regarded as being able to go beyond the horizon of current technology, and is a leading direction for the advancement of computer technology in the next decade.
Table of ContentsPart 1 Fundamental property: physics of QFP operation, W. Hioe; verification of high speed circuit operation, J. Casas and R. Kamikawai; process issues of QFP devices, N. Miyamoto and H. Nakane. Part 2 Computer architecture: concurrent models for the cyclic pipeline computer, P. Spee; six benchmark problems for number crunchers, W.F. Wong. Part 3 Magnetic shielding: a new approach for high efficiency pulse-tube refrigerator, J. Yuyama; detecting of flux quanta trapped in superconductor films by scanning a SQUID pick-up coil, H. Minami; an ultra-high vacuum application of a refrigerator-cooled cryopump, M. Kasuya; and others.
