Nanotechnology requirements and challenges for large-scale brain computing
Abstract
Computing systems today are at the dawn of a new period in history: the cognitive era [1]. This transition is driven by the explosive growth in unstructured data enabled by new technology trends such as Social Media, the Internet of Things, and everywhere computing. Computing workloads are correspondingly shifting away from transactional processing and toward unstructured computational problems requiring fuzzier analysis such as sensing, learning, and inferring; detecting patterns and anomalies; and predicting and discovering.
