Dr. Dharmendra S. Modha, Ph.D., graduate of UCSD Engineering, and his team, developed a computer chip with a neural inspired architecture, called NorthPole, where memory and computation are integrated, that achieves substantially higher performance, energy efficiency, and area efficiency compared with other architectures. This computer obviates the need to access external memory, thus greatly increasing …
