Extra Seminar - Würzburg ToCoTronics Colloquium

Our reliance on modern computers for a wide range of daily tasks cannot be understated. It is projected to grow so fast that the energy required for such computations will soon surpass the energy we produce worldwide. To avoid such a scenario, radically new approaches to computation are needed. MemComputing has been developed to address this issue. It is a new brain-inspired approach that employs memory (time non-locality) to process information [1]. I will discuss the physics behind MemComputing, and its application to a variety of computational problems of both academic and industrial importance, showing its advantages over traditional approaches and even quantum computing.
