Conquering Challenges: New Hardware Solutions for AI Work
These nanoscale projects by MIT researchers could lead to new efficiency and models for advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems!
Energy efficiency is one of the ADC process’s major contributions. The processing of all that data requires a significant amount of energy
The researchers at MIT are evaluating properties like conductivity to develop the new models and are employing protons for a model that powers processing in the arrays
The working mechanism of the device is electrochemical insertion of the smallest ion, the proton, into an insulating oxide to modulate its electronic conductivity
They could use a strong electric field to accelerate the motion of this ion and push these ionic devices to the nanosecond operation regime because they are working with very thin devices
This alternative infrastructure is designed to resemble the natural synapses found in the human brain
