    <title>Prior Art submitted for Crossbar arithmetic processor</title>
    <link>http://www.peertopatent.org/patent/43/prior_art/list</link>
    <description>An arithmetic processing system is taught to be formed by combining a crossbar array with programming circuitry, input circuitry, and post-processing circuitry. The programming circuitry is configured to set crosspoints of the crossbar array to either a relatively high conductivity or a relatively low conductivity state corresponding to a logic 1 or logic 0, thereby programming at least one programmed numerical value into the crossbar array. The input circuitry provides a binary input representative of an input numerical value to columns of the crossbar array. The post-processing circuitry converts an analog output vector produced from the rows of the crossbar array into a binary output representative of an output numerical value mathematically related to the at least one programmed numerical value and the input numerical value.</description>

      <title>Logic Gates and Computation from Assembled Nanowire Building Blocks</title>
      <category>Crossbar arithmetic processor</category>
      <description>Title: Logic Gates and Computation from Assembled Nanowire Building Blocks&lt;br/&gt;Description: The reference describes a bottom-up approach in which functional device elements and element arrays have been assembled from solution through the use of electronically well-defined semiconductor nanowire building blocks (or crossbars). Further the reference describes that nanowire junction arrays (crossbars) have been configured as key OR, AND, and NOR logic-gate structures with substantial gain and have been used to implement basic computations.</description>

      <title>Array-Based Architecture for Molecular Electronics</title>
      <category>Crossbar arithmetic processor</category>
      <description>Title: Array-Based Architecture for Molecular Electronics&lt;br/&gt;Description: We sketch a basic architecture for molecular electronics based on carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires which can provide universal logic functionality with all logic and signal restoration operating at the molecular scale. The key properties of this architecture are its minimalism, defect tolerance, and compatibility with emerging, bottom-up, nanoscale fabrication techniques.</description>

      <title>Digital Logic using Molecular Electronics</title>
      <category>Crossbar arithmetic processor</category>
      <description>Title: Digital Logic using Molecular Electronics&lt;br/&gt;Description: A reconfigurable architecture is based on chemically-assembled electronic nanotechnology (CAEN). A molecular latch based on molecular resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) provides I/O-isolation, voltage restoration, and high fan-out.  Moreover, a nanoblock based on CAEN has been used to implement a AND, OR, XOR gate to achieve computational objectives.</description>
