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
