If you think that Hewlett-Packard is disappointed about the delays in getting the memristor to market, so is a tenacious inventor who has been working at the confluence of electronics and machine learning. Alex Nugent, who has been involved in a number of... read more
We’ve been hearing about commercially feasible memristors—a type of electrical component that’s persistent like flash memory, but as fast as DRAM to access—for quite some time now. Most prominently, HP got its proof of the memristor’... read more
A Santa Fe man is the brains behind a new company that aims to take computing architecture into the next century. Alex Nugent, a former Los Alamos National Laboratory employee who grew up in Santa Fe, is the chief executive officer and co-founder of Knowm... read more
When we want to start computing at biological scales and speeds – evolving today’s practical machine learning forward towards long-deferred visions of a more “artificial intelligence” – we’ll need to take advantage of new f... read more
Knowm Inc., a start-up pioneering next-generation advanced computing architectures and technology, today announced they are the first to develop and make commercially-available memristors with bi-directional incremental learning capability. The device was... read more
Alex Nugent is working on making computers more human. Specifically, he and his team at Knowm Inc. have developed the world’s first adaptive neuromemristive processor along with Dr. Kris Campbell, a researcher at Boise State University and an expert on ... read more
Knowm Inc., a start-up pioneering next-generation advanced computing architectures and technology, today announced the availability of artificial neural-network (ANN) chips built using memristors with bi-directional incremental learning capability. “We ... read more
The name memristor is formed from memory + resistor. The fundamental component it labels behaves like a resistor, but one whose value changes based on the integral of the current passing through it, hence, the memory aspect. Innovative company Knowm is ma... read more
Your move, IBM. A small, Santa Fe, New Mexico-based company called Knowm claims it will soon begin commercializing a state-of-the-art technique for building computing chips that learn. Other companies, including HP and IBM, have already invested in develo... read more
“Modern methods of computing won’t get us to the levels we need.” That simple statement from Alex Nugent, the CEO of computing startup Knowm, serves as a mission statement driving their goal – to develop a new hardware paradigm to boost machine le... read more
