My apologies if you were looking for a post about cell phones. This post is about high density nanodevices. It's a follow up to How will memristors change everything? for those wishing to pursue these revolutionary ideas in more depth. This is one of those areas where if you are in the space then there's a lot of available information and if you are on the outside then it doesn't even seem to exist. Fortunately, Ben Chandler from The SyNAPSE Project, was kind enough to point me to a great set of presentations given at the 12th IEEE CNNA - International Workshop on Cellular Nanoscale Networks and their Applications - Towards Megaprocessor Computing. WARNING: these papers contain extreme technical content. If you are like me and you aren't an electrical engineer, much of it may make a sort of surface sense, but the deep and twisty details will fly over head. For the more software minded there are a couple more accessible presentations:
Here a few excerpts from the presentations, just things I found particularly interesting. I'm still trying to make sense of it all and I thought you might be interested too. It's clear there's something new here and it will require different algorithms and programming models to work. What will those be and who will invent them?
