IBM research has announced a new computing architecture called "in-memory" computing. The concept is to use one device for both storing and processing information. They believe this new prototype technology will enable ultra-dense, low-power, and massively parallel computing systems that are especially useful for AI applications. Sounds to me like the neural net processor might become a reality. T-800 cpu anyone?
"This is an important step forward in our research of the physics of AI, which explores new hardware materials, devices and architectures," says Evangelos Eleftheriou, PhD, an IBM Fellow and co-author of an open-access paper in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Communications. "As the CMOS scaling laws break down because of technological limits, a radical departure from the processor-memory dichotomy is needed to circumvent the limitations of today’s computers."
