An interesting article in IEEE Spectrum came through one of my email updates today from the IEEE. I had never heard of a memristor and of course thinking about how a flash memory worked way back when, when we had to deliver the 12v charge to write or erase and then later when they added a voltage stack (which was, as I remember something akin to a couple of caps to hold that voltage so you didn’t have to have a 12v rail tied to it etc etc) I was kind of intrigued. Now the potential discovery of a fundamental physical circuit (like a cap, resistor or inductor) whose characteristics change by the amount of energy that passed through it and it remembers that even after the energy is turned off…mind boggling if it is true, and it will create the era of always on computing…
Although I have to admit, when you have to do a reboot, you kinda might be stuck in the state you were in just before it crashed…so I’m wondering how you get out of that…
