Physicists at the University of Greifswald are developing an innovative approach that will significantly improve the energy efficiency of computers. They take their inspiration from the human brain.
The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) poses challenges to today's computer technology. Conventional silicon processors are reaching their limits: they consume large amounts of energy, the storage and processing units are not interconnected and data transmission slows down complex applications. As the size of AI models is constantly increasing and they are having to process huge amounts of data, the need for new computing architectures is rising. In addition to quantum computers, focus is shifting, in particular, to neuromorphic concepts. These systems are based on the way the human brain works.
