You Can Approximate Pi by Dropping Needles on the Floor

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

High-Entropy True Random Number Generator Based on Memristor Reset Switching

Abstract: Aside from storing data, memristors can also be used as an entropy source, typically by utilizing the random characteristics of the high resistance state (HRS) or set/reset time delay (TD) ...

Pseudo-Random Number Generators for Stochastic Computing (SC): Design and Analysis

Abstract: In most nanoscale stochastic computing designs, the Stochastic Number Generator (SNG) circuit is complex and occupies a significant area because each copy of a stochastic variable requires ...
