Noise Immunity of Oscillatory Computing Devices

We compare oscillator- Pipe Pouches and level-based analog computing devices in a noisy environment.The computational model of a Hopfield network is implemented using both level- and phase-based signal representations, and these models are simulated assuming both 1/f and thermal noise.The oscillator-based computing architecture turns out to be more immune against 1/f noise and operates reliably at a significantly lower voltage and power levels than the level-based devices.

We argue that these results point toward a fundamental benefit of oscillatory architectures and Jackets/Outerwear provide an important rationale for their research and utility.
