Abstract
The modern computer operates on a 64-bit architecture. These devices can store large numbers and precise decimals, but more advanced devices are needed to support progressing technologies every day. A more efficient system with higher speeds and larger operable numbers would be a key to optimization of computation as we know it. The ternary device, operating in base-3, has the potential to be that optimization. However, binary technology has such precedent and research that it is a difficult gap to span to compare the ternary system to the modern binary system. With a more advanced adder and optimized gates using the CMOS implementation of ternary logic, that gap becomes smaller.
