Peking University and IBM define modern analog computing in review

Original: Peking University and IBM Research Europe have published a review defining modern analog computing. In a memristor cross

Peking University and IBM Research Europe have published a review outlining a definition of modern analog computing based on memristor crossbar arrays. The authors explain that in such arrays, Ohm's law performs multiplication and Kirchhoff's law sums columns, so a 1,000 by 1,000 array effectively holds a million multipliers, offering roughly 1,000 times greater efficiency.

Why now: The promise of analog computing delivering massive efficiency gains over digital hardware for AI workloads is drawing attention.
