В свежем IEEE Spectrum статья про термодинамические вычисления и компанию Normal Computing (писали про них тут и ранее). Интересная цитата: __This results in the Normal Computing cofounders having a slightly different vision. They imagine a world where different kinds of physics are utilized for their own computing hardware, and every problem that needs solving is matched with the most optimal hardware implementation. “We coined this term physics-based ASICs,” Normal Computing’s Belateche says, referring to application-specific integrated circuits. In their vision, a future computer will have access to conventional CPUs and GPUs, but also a quantum computing chip, a thermodynamic computing chip, and any other paradigm people might dream up. And each computation will be sent to an ASIC that uses the physics that’s most appropriate for the problem at hand.__
