| Abstract | Heat generation limits the performance of state-of-the-art integrated circuits, originating from the wasteful static CMOS operating principle. Near-term solutions like adiabatic charging for energy recovery and limiting friction-type heat sources provide considerable improvement. However, these methods do not address the ultimate thermodynamic necessity to expel energy related to information loss in the computing process. In emerging beyond-CMOS technologies, this bit erasure heat alone can overwhelm the cooling capacity and set the limits of the computing performance. Therefore, logical information loss is becoming an important factor for digital circuit design, and tools have to be developed for analysis and optimization. This article presents a framework for estimating the amount of information loss in complex logic circuits, demonstrating the method by modeling the irreversible bit erasures in a standard binary adder structure. Binary addition is one of the most often used and highly optimized digital designs, and we estimate the erasure bounds for components on various levels of design abstraction, showing that the actual logic gate implementations have orders of magnitude higher loss than the addition operation itself would require. The method and the results can be used to optimize circuits for a higher degree of logical reversibility and energy conservation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
