AHaH Computing–From Metastable Switches to Attractors to Machine Learning Abstract Modern computing architecture based on the separation of memory and processing leads to a well known problem called the von Neumann bottleneck, a restrictive limit on the... read more
Communication is not Free Communication is not free. It takes energy to move data around. In integrated circuits we can move data with electrons on metal wires or, more recently, with photons in waveguides. Photons are a great choice for long-distance com... read more
Mimicking Nature’s Computers How does nature compute? Attempting to answer this question naturally leads one to consider biological nervous systems, although examples of computation abound in other manifestations of life. Some examples include plant... read more

Introduction Many memristive materials have recently been reported [1–5], and the trend continues. New designs and materials are being used to create a diverse range of devices and Knowm Inc. is now selling discrete memristors! Memristor models are also... read more
Reinforcement Learning Learning by interacting with our environment is perhaps the first form of learning that capable organisms discovered during the beginning of intelligence. Among the first examples were simple celled organisms that exercised the conn... read more
Is there something else out there? At a fundamental level, everything in the Universe originates from natural processes of self-organization. At the lowest levels we see simple and highly deterministic processes or ‘rules’ that guide the time-... read more
