Inter-microengine information sharing consists of reading and writing memory. Atomic bit operations are the only inter-microengine synchronization mechanism that also performs read-modify-write ...

First, let's assume that each computation is done in the minimum number of steps possible. Many of the transistors spent in functional units today are spent on making a single copy of the operation go ...

Quantum computers hold great promise for exciting applications in the future, but for now they keep presenting physicists and engineers with a series of challenges and conundrums. One of them relates ...
