Reinventing the computer: Brain-inspired computing for a post-Moore's Law era

Computing development has seen a consistent doubling of the number of transistors that can fit on a chip. But that trend, Moore's Law, may reach its limit as components of submolecular size encounter problems with thermal noise, making further scaling impossible. Researchers present an examination of the computing landscape, focusing on functions needed to advance brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. Their proposed pathway includes hybrid architectures composed of both digital and analog architectures.
