In this episode of the NSF Discover Superconducting Podcast, we explore insights from Marylin Wolf's seminar on the parallels between classic CMOS logic and the emerging field of Josephson logic for superconducting supercomputers. The discussion draws from the successes of the VLSI era, where structured design methods and generators managed complex logic systems, and applies these strategies to the challenges in superconducting computer design.
Key topics include the importance of noise margins, signal integrity, reliability, and the potential role of programmable logic arrays (PLAs) for efficient logic implementation. This episode offers a fascinating look at how past solutions can guide the future of supercomputing.
