Abstract
The present invention discloses a configurable gate array based on three-dimensional printed memory (3D-P). It comprises an array of configurable computing elements, an array of configurable logic elements and a plurality of configurable interconnects. Each configurable computing element can selectively realize a math function from a math library. It comprises a plurality of 3D-P arrays storing the look-up tables (LUT) for the math functions in the math library.

A configurable computing element selectively realizing a first or second math function, comprising:
- a semiconductor substrate including transistors thereon;
- at least first and second three-dimensional printed memory (3D-P) arrays stacked above said semiconductor substrate, wherein said first 3D-P array stores at least a first portion of a first look-up table (LUT) for said first math function, and said second 3D-P array stores at least a second portion of a second LUT for said second math function;
- at least a configurable interconnect coupling with said first and second 3D-P arrays, wherein said configurable computing element selectively realizes said first or second math function depending upon at least a configuration signal on said configurable interconnect.
A configurable gate array realizing a complex math function, comprising:
- an array of configurable computing elements comprising at least a configurable computing element, wherein said configurable computing element selectively realizes a math function from a math library;
- an array of configurable logic elements comprising at least a configurable logic element, wherein said configurable logic element selectively realizes a logic function from a logic library;
- a plurality of configurable interconnects coupling said array of configurable computing elements and said array of configurable logic elements;
- wherein said configurable gate array realizes said complex math function by programming said array of configurable computing elements, said array of configurable logic elements and said plurality of configurable interconnects;
- and said complex math function is a combination of the math functions from said math library.
