Peking University and IBM review modern analog computing

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 defining modern analog computing. The work explains how memristor crossbar arrays perform computation directly in hardware: Ohm's law carries out multiplication and Kirchhoff's law sums column currents, so a 1,000 by 1,000 array effectively holds a million multipliers, with the authors estimating roughly 1,000 times the energy efficiency of conventional approaches.

Why now: Interest in energy-efficient alternatives to digital hardware is growing as AI workloads strain conventional chips.
