- The first programmable memristor computer—not just a memristor array operated through an external computer—has been developed at the University of Michigan. It could bring AI processing down from the cloud and enable it directly on small, energy-constrained devices such as smartphones and sensors. https://news.engin.umich.edu/2019/07/first-programmable-memristor-computer-aims-to-bring-ai-processing-down-from-the-cloud/ 13 comments science
