Taking Computers to the Next Level: Rebecca Schulman Leads Team Designing New System that Borrows From Biology
July 17, 2018
If you built the largest, most powerful computer currently feasible, it would have about the same number of transistors as there are synapses in the brain of a 3-year-old child. It would also be slightly larger than a tennis court, and consume 106 times the power needed by the preschooler’s brain. All of which means […]
