4、oral Computing and Race LogicTemporal computing is a promising approach for reducing energy consumption.Its rooted in the concept of race logic,where information is encoded in the timing of voltage transitions rather than individual bits.Multiple bits of information can be encoded on a single wire.R

5、ace logic sacrifices some precision but offers advantages in speed,energy efficiency,and reduced area.However pure temporal computing(TC),which uses race logic,struggles with performing general arithmetic operations like multiplication and addition due to causality and waveform format restrictionsTC

6、 for general-purpose computing remains a challenging problem.Despite recent efforts to develop temporal state machines and temporal memory structures,race logic-based design for general computing still remains challengingCourtesy of NIST,In“race logic”information is not encoded in these bits but rat
