Neural computing challenges the status quo

Abstract

For this Special Report on Future Computing, Computer Design interviewed Carver Mead, an expert on the subject of neural computing. Professor Mead is the Gordon and Betty Moore Professor of Computer Science at the California Institute of Technology, where he has taught for 20 years. He's also a co-founder and chairman of Synaptics, a company that develops neural network technology Mead has pioneered in many areas of electronics, from the invention of the MESFET to silicon compilers and, recently, VLSI analog neural systems.
