Rapid Single Flux Quantum (RSFQ) Josephson-junction technology is capable of processing digital data at subterahertz frequencies while dissipating almost negligible power: At present time one can routinely simulate, optimize, design, manufacture, and test elementary RSFQ logic/memory cell consisting of several dozens Josephson junctions. Furthermore, a number of relatively complex (few hundred to few thousand Josephson junctions) digital circuits were designed and successfully tested. Moreover, we know how to implement several RSFQ systems (including analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, digital SQUIDs for supersensitive magnetometry, and digital autocorrelator for radioastronomy) wh ich would far outperform their currently available and even prospective semiconductor counterparts. In order to implement more complex RSFQ systems, including high-performance digital signa I processors and general purpose computers there is a number of technical problems to solve. The issues include making a full use of on-chip sub-terahertz processing in conditions when inter-chip data/clock exchange speed is bound by bandwidth of the order of a few Gbps/pin. In this report I will attempt to present the current know-how of the field, and to formulate the questions that need to be solved before the RSFQ technology becomes a major workhorse of high-performance computation. |
