#3991 New Paradigms in Computing #3991 Given Quantum Computing and Probabilistic Computing as new paradigms on their way to wide use sometime in the future, what other paradigms of optimized computing are in-work? While quantum and probabilistic computing capture most of the headlines, several other paradigms are being developed to bypass the "Von Neumann bottleneck" and the impending end of Moore’s Law. In 2025, these technologies are moving from pure academic theory into early commercial hardware. Here are the key "optimized" computing paradigms currently in work: 1. Neuromorphic Computing (Brain-Inspired) Instead of the standard CPU/RAM split, neuromorphic systems mimic the architecture of the human brain. They use SNNs (Spiking Neural Networks) where "neurons" only fire when they receive a specific signal, making them incredibly energy-efficient. The Optimization: It eliminates the constant data movement between processor and memory. Key Players: I...
