“Brain-Like Computers” Soon to Become a Reality Posted: 25 Jun 2011 03:07 AM PDT We have already seen high-speed computers which can compute and process multiple instructions at the same time. But, there has never been a computer which can work as fast as and also resemble the biological systems of a brain. In a recently published article in the journal “advanced Materials”, a study about the world's first demonstration of a device, that is capable of multiple and simultaneous information processing and storage using phase changed materials was explained. The article was published by researchers at the University of Exeter. This new technology will clearly pave way for high-speed computers that are more energy efficient. The computers that are used now have the data processing device and memory separately. So, each time a data is to be processed, it has to be fetched, modified, replaced and then sent back to the memory to be stored. Thus, the data is moved around continuously which results in time loss. In a human brain, the case is entirely different. Both the processing and memory storage is done at the same place. To create a similar device that performs both the functions at the same time, researchers at the University of Exeter used materials that resemble the...
