Fully Programmable Valve Array (FPVA) has emerged as a new architecture for the next-generation flow-based microfluidic biochips. This 2D-array consists of regularly-arranged valves, which can be dynamically configured by users to realize microfluidic devices of different shapes and sizes as well as interconnections. Additionally, the regularity of the underlying structure renders FPVAs easier to integrate on a tiny chip. However, these arrays may suffer from various manufacturing defects such as blockage and leakage in control and flow channels. Unfortunately, no efficient method is yet known for testing such a general-purpose architecture. In this paper, we present a novel formulation using the concept of flow paths and cut-sets, and describe an ILP-based hierarchical strategy for generating compact test sets that can detect multiple faults in FPVAs. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method in detecting manufacturing faults with only a small number of test vectors.

We review some of the basic principles, fundamentals, technologies, architectures and recent advances leading to thefor the implementation of Field Programmable Photonic Field Arrays (FPPGAs).
Microfluidic systems are now being designed with precision to execute increasingly complex tasks. However, their operation often requires numerous external control devices due to the typically linear nature of microscale flows, which has hampered the
development of integrated control mechanisms. We address this difficulty by designing microfluidic networks that exhibit a nonlinear relation between applied pressure and flow rate, which can be harnessed to switch the direction of internal flows solely by manipulating input and/or output pressures. We show that these networks exhibit an experimentally-supported fluid analog of Braesss paradox, in which closing an intermediate channel results in a higher, rather than lower, total flow rate. The harnessed behavior is scalable and can be used to implement flow routing with multiple switches. These findings have the potential to advance development of built-in control mechanisms in microfluidic networks, thereby facilitating the creation of portable systems that may one day be as controllable as microelectronic circuits.
This paper proposes the implementation of programmable threshold logic gate (TLG) crossbar array based on modified TLG cells for high speed processing and computation. The proposed TLG array operation does not depend on input signal and time pulses,
comparing to the existing architectures. The circuit is implemented using TSMC $180nm$ CMOS technology. The on-chip area and power dissipation of the simulated $3times 4$ TLG array is $1463 mu m^2$ and $425 mu W$, respectively.
Programmable photonic circuits of reconfigurable interferometers can be used to implement arbitrary operations on optical modes, facilitating a flexible platform for accelerating tasks in quantum simulation, signal processing, and artificial intellig
ence. A major obstacle to scaling up these systems is static fabrication error, where small component errors within each device accrue to produce significant errors within the circuit computation. Mitigating this error usually requires numerical optimization dependent on real-time feedback from the circuit, which can greatly limit the scalability of the hardware. Here we present a deterministic approach to correcting circuit errors by locally correcting hardware errors within individual optical gates. We apply our approach to simulations of large scale optical neural networks and infinite impulse response filters implemented in programmable photonics, finding that they remain resilient to component error well beyond modern day process tolerances. Our results highlight a new avenue for scaling up programmable photonics to hundreds of modes within current day fabrication processes.
For decades, advances in electronics were directly driven by the scaling of CMOS transistors according to Moores law. However, both the CMOS scaling and the classical computer architecture are approaching fundamental and practical limits, and new com
puting architectures based on emerging devices, such as resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices, are expected to sustain the exponential growth of computing capability. Here we propose a novel memory-centric, reconfigurable, general purpose computing platform that is capable of handling the explosive amount of data in a fast and energy-efficient manner. The proposed computing architecture is based on a uniform, physical, resistive, memory-centric fabric that can be optimally reconfigured and utilized to perform different computing and data storage tasks in a massively parallel approach. The system can be tailored to achieve maximal energy efficiency based on the data flow by dynamically allocating the basic computing fabric for storage, arithmetic, and analog computing including neuromorphic computing tasks.
