Abstract

A Simplified Phase Model for Simulation of Oscillator-Based Computing Systems YAN FANG, VICTOR V. YASHIN, BRANDON B. JENNINGS, DONALD M. CHIARULLI, and STEVEN P.

However, simulation and analysis of these computing systems is both time and compute intensive due to the nonlinearity of new devices and the complex behavior of coupled oscillators. In order to speed up the simulation of coupled oscillator systems, we propose a simplified phase model to perform phase and frequency synchronization prediction based on a synthesis of earlier models. Our model can predict the frequency-locking behavior with several orders of magnitude speedup compared to direct evaluation, enabling the effective and efficient simulation of the large numbers of oscillators required for practical computing systems.
