Building a Brain May Mean Going Analog: Analog circuits consume less power per operation than CMOS technologies, and so should prove more efficient.

The article discusses the use of analog circuits in computing in comparison to the use of complementary metal oxide semi-conductor (CMOS) technology. Topics include work led by researcher Hideo Ohno in comparison to work led by researcher Mark Stiles, the use of Josephson junctions using separated s...

Sumario:The article discusses the use of analog circuits in computing in comparison to the use of complementary metal oxide semi-conductor (CMOS) technology. Topics include work led by researcher Hideo Ohno in comparison to work led by researcher Mark Stiles, the use of Josephson junctions using separated super-conducting material, and neural computing by the firm International Business Machines Corp. (IBM).
