Enhancing Computing with Biologically Inspired Design<\/span><\/p>\n

Computers as an integral part of the modern world are continuously being improved upon, and yet there is still a lot of space for advancement. With the impending end of Moore\u2019s Law and the limits to how small components can be made, new computer designs and engineering models are needed to make further progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

One area of inspiration that researchers and engineers have been turning to is that of the biological world. Computer architecture and design that takes a page from the structure of neurons and how they work in the brain promises great improvements in areas such as efficiency and parallel computation.<\/span><\/p>\n

This process however of creating a biologically inspired computer is one that has required large amounts of research and study, as the vast differences between binary-based computers and biological neurons makes a fusion of the two paradigms very difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n

This presentation will explore these topics and examine how these problems are being solved with the use of clever engineering and novel technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n
