You Can Approximate Pi by Dropping Needles on the Floor

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

Pseudo-Random Number Generators for Stochastic Computing (SC): Design and Analysis

Abstract: In most nanoscale stochastic computing designs, the Stochastic Number Generator (SNG) circuit is complex and occupies a significant area because each copy of a stochastic variable requires ...

A PVT-Tolerant Oscillation-Collapse-Based True Random Number Generator With an Odd Number of Inverter Stages

Abstract: This brief proposes a PVT-tolerant true random number generator (TRNG) based on a ring oscillator (RO) with an odd number of inverter stages. By introducing a Muller C-element in each racing ...
