#2I have nothing to say but that this is a cool application of memristors. My graduate research is in cognitive computing and the thought of using circuitry to represent the synaptic weights as opposed to hardware/software based adders and multipliers is pretty awesome.

#4"Even on a 30 nm process, it would be possible to place 25 million cells in a square centimeter, with 10,000 synapses on each cell. And all that would dissipate about a Watt."
Wow - seems like a lot.
Human brain by comparison (sourced by google): - 12 watts - 100 billion neurons - 1000 trillion connections
Computing with memsisters is going to be very interesting.

#7Memristor crossbars are exciting even outside of neural network applications: it can be used as a very dense, non-volatile memory. If this design can be scaled up, it could potentially replace both flash memory storage, and RAM.

put that on a 20cm x 30cm surface (laptop) ... and you have 25m x 600 = 15bn cells, 150 trillion synapses using 600W.
If they can ever fabricate such a thing ... those neural networks are going to compute some scary stuff!
