If you don't play fancy games, process videos, or often do the relatively few other kinds of computation-intensive tasks, a less-powerful computer would be fine.
Dr. Hopfield said that he was particularly interested in the kinds of computations that occurred over time.
Even in jobs that rely on so-called STEM credentials — science, technology, engineering, math — considerable training occurs after hiring, including the kinds of computations that will be required.
As large-scale companies continue to accumulate more and more data on their users' activities, and activities like autonomous driving become more robust and abundant, there will be an even greater need for next-generation processors that can handle those kinds of computations.
Along the series of steps r0, r0 + 1,…, r1, we distribute two kinds of computations: (1) new MUL B tables for accumulated q × q blocks in matrices A r for r0 ≤ r < r1, and (2) a new MIN table, as well as new MUL B tables, with respect to block length q + 1.
This kind of computation can exhaust the available computational resources on one institution, requiring the use of grid computing technique to provide more computational resources from other institutions [5].
And still out there waiting to be created is that most elusive of breakthroughs a nanoscale "universal computer" that can do any kind of computation.
According to the computational theory of cognition, cognition is a kind of computation: the behavior of cognitive systems is causally explained by the computations they perform.
He says, "The mind is what the brain does; specifically, the brain processes information, and thinking is a kind of computation" – excluding the felt experience of thinking, with all its diverse burdens and colorations.
According to this approach, activity vectors are the central kind of representation and vector-to-vector transformations are the central kind of computation in the brain.
