Scientists Consider Magnets as Neural Network Processors

[Guest]

Researchers at the Imperial College in London believes that magnets could be used to develop future processors with far greater processing capacity than today's CPUs.

Neural Network Processors = learning computers

Sounds like a fools errand but hey, you never know.

I actually guess what this link was about. and i was right
fancy words.

Could be, should be, would be... speculative. How about a prototype to catch news headlines

Magnets.. how do they work?

Tom's forgot the end of the article.
However, they believe that the technology could be available within ten to fifteen years...with billions of dollars of funding they'll never get.

There's simply no point to this line of research.
Advances in computers are slow and incremental, building on existing technology.

And "being more like how our own brains work" doesn't mean you can create an efficient CPU out of it.

This is right up there with trying to store information in the spins of atoms.

What we really need magnets for is RAM that does not need power to keep the memory stored. It's called "MRAM" and it's actually the next big thing once they can get the speeds up and the costs down but that's probably at least ten years away.

"Scientists Consider Magnets as Neural Network Processors... still don't know how they work."

What about using metamaterials to make the magnets void interfering with each other when we don't want them.

 

[annymmo]

I meant avoid interfering with each other.

Maybe it's even possible to make a metamaterial that can be turned off with a default state that does not need energy.
