A new paper titled “Proposal For Neuromorphic Hardware Using Spin Devices” put out by the researchers at the Circuits Research Lab at Intel and Purdue University shows promise in simulations for modeling bipolar spin neurons utilizing memristive cross-bar neural network (NN) architectures as synapses: [...] Emergence of programmable conductive elements, like TiO2 memristor and phase [...]
Interesting video about Memristors with Stan Williams of HP Research. Starts out with a standard “the benefit to the consumer video recorder is enormous,” [not literal quote!], but luckily moves into a much more interesting point, which Dr. Williams discusses a little more in depth: the benefit of the technology vis a vis embedded cell [...]
Mesh networking components such as zigbee radios amongst others seem to enjoy a certain popularity amongst open source hardware advocates, even though they are often criticized for being hobbyist technology. The recent use mesh networks for the OLPC and third world low cost connectivity though has been an interesting sweet-spot in the deployment of the [...]
