10. Theoretical simulations of dynamical systems for advanced reservoir computing applications
Sammanfattning : There are computational problems that are simply too complex and cannot be handled by traditional CMOS technologies due to practical engineering limitations related to either fundamental physical behavior of devices at small scales, or various energy consumption issues. The field of unconventional computation has emerged as a response to these challenges. LÄS MER
