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 have been dreaming about this device and developing the theory for how to apply them to best maximize their potential for more than a decade,” said […]
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 memrisistors. Product Design & Development interviewed him on Sept. 1 to find out how this […]
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 developed through research from Boise State University’s Dr. Kris Campbell, and this new data unequivocally confirms Knowm’s memristors are capable of bi-directional incremental learning. […]
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 forms of hardware that transcend the strictly digital. Digital computing infrastructure, based on switching digital bits and separating the functions of […]
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 Inc., which officially launched Tuesday and will premiere its work […]
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’s existence published in Nature back in 2008, and it partnered with SK Hynix to produce memristors in 2010, but […]
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 machine learning projects with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, including […]
Während der IT-Riese HP seine ehrgeizigen Pläne zu Memristoren auf die lange Bank geschoben hat, legt das US-Startup Knowm los: Im Online-Shop von Knowm kann man dort für 220 US-Dollar einen Chip mit acht Memristoren kaufen. Das Bauelement ist nicht für die Serienfertigung gedacht, sondern für Forscher und Entwickler, die Algorithmen etwa zum Maschinenlernen implementieren […]
Knowm, a startup specializing in new types of advanced computing architectures and technology, has announced the launch of a brand new platform that allows developers to build intelligent applications powered by Thermodynamic-RAM (kT-RAM) and AHaH technology. The brand new Knowm platform features the Knowm API, a special machine learning library that can be used to […]
Aiming to become one of the first IT vendors to bring memristor processor technology to market, Knowm today revealed that it is building a neuromemristive processor that learns and adapts to how data streams actually behave. After more than 13 years of development, the primary goal is to eliminate any distinction between processors and memory, […]
