The End of Moore’s Law: Opportunities for Natural Computing?

Abstract

The impending end of Moore’s Law has started a rethinking of the way computers are built and computation is done. This paper discusses two directions that are currently attracting much attention as future computation paradigms: the merging of logic and memory, and brain-inspired computing. Natural computing has been known for its innovative methods to conduct computation, and as such may play an important role in the shaping of the post-Moore era.
