Moreover, the Stanford researchers showed that they could perform this technique on more than one layer of logic as they created their high-rise chip. What about the memory? Creating high-performance ...

Today circuit cards are like cities in which logic chips compute and memory chips store data. When the computer gets busy, the wires connecting logic and memory get jammed. The Stanford approach ...

The Stanford approach would end these jams by building layers of logic atop layers of memory to create a tightly interconnected high-rise chip. Many thousands of nanoscale electronic "elevators ...

Now Stanford researchers have found out why, and it turns out the contrarian neurons aren't contrary at all – they just have a different way of getting to their goal.
