AI’S SECRET WEAPON: MEMRISTORS

An electrical component known as a memristor can modify its resistance in response to changes in the amount and direction of current flowing through it.

The unique electrical properties of memristors allow for a variety of potential applications in AI. One of the most potential applications is the development of neuromorphic computing systems, which aim to mimic the structure and behavior of biological brain networks.

Utilizing the brain's neural networks' capacity for parallel processing will enable neuromorphic computing systems to more efficiently complete challenging AI tasks. Because they can be utilized to imitate the synapses between neurons in a way that is more scalable and energy-efficient than normal digital computing, memristors are particularly well-suited for this task.

Memristors can be used in a neuromorphic computer system to store information about the strength of synaptic weights, or connections between neurons.

Their weights can be altered by adjusting the memristor's resistance in response to the electrical impulses it receives.

By modifying the strength of connections between neurons, the neuromorphic system may learn and adjust to new information in a manner similar to how biological brain networks do so.

Memristors can potentially be used to tackle the "memory wall" problem in artificial intelligence (AI), a bottleneck caused by the performance gap between the CPU and the memory in conventional computer systems.

Memristors are a sort of non-volatile memory that improves the efficiency with which AI algorithms may access data, therefore improving algorithm performance.

Another potential application for memristors in AI is the development of spiking neural networks, a subcategory of neural network that uses spikes, or brief electrical impulses, to communicate between neurons.

Spiking neural networks' complex synapses, which allow them to carry out complicated computations in real-time, can be implemented using memristors.

The creation of neuromorphic computing systems, solving the memory wall problem, and using spiking neural networks are just a few of the fascinating applications of memristors in artificial intelligence. Memristors' potential in these applications must live up to it.

You have already read in previous chapters that between the novel approach of Hyperdimensional Computing, the extra-large new chip technology, the advent of Quantum Computing, and these Memristors, AI has now at his disposal plenty of power to support his endless memory and calculating goals.

Ic Analog Chip Industry Sea Change With Ai

By automating analog layout using cutting-edge AI, Astrus (Canada) aims to simplify the semiconductor design process. Through the quick production of layouts made possible by this, circuit designers' productivity will increase, and they will be able to iterate on designs more effectively.

Chip designers may now iterate five times per day rather than five times per week thanks to AI, which will cause a sea change in the industry.Based on the assumption that there are 60,000 IC designers in the world, the co-founders , Brad Moon and Zely Wang calculates yearly revenue of US$2 billion. Potential clients who have seen their prototype have given early favorable reviews.

In four to eight months, the business hopes to launch the first iteration of Astrus AI commercially. They have a solid competitive advantage in automating analog chip design while accounting for parasitic capacitances and resistances.

They intend to construct an AI engine that is universal for all circuits and technological nodes and anticipates receiving serious funding round after its first product is released to the market.
