A New Era in Computation
A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore have just created a revolutionary prototype of a computing paradigm that could shake (and replace) the foundations of modern computing — starting with the transistor and the GPUs!
The Von Neumann architecture and its infamous Bottleneck on which all our computing systems are built will become obsolete if this revolutionary model can scale.
This technology, called neuromorphic computing (computing that mimics the brain), uses memristors (a foundation device that can access multiple levels of state at once = to be precise, 16,500+ states in the groundbreaking novel prototype) to blow the acceleration of even quantum computing out of the park.
Basically:
A team of researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has achieved a revolutionary breakthrough in artificial intelligence, potentially changing the global technology landscape. They have developed a brain-inspired…
