Why Brain-like Computers Are Hard

Computers that run the Von Neumann architecture store their programs and data in the same memory bank. Since both have to travel the same road to get and from the CPU, we find that the system is ultimately limited not by the CPU or GPU's computational limits but by said road. This is the famous Von Neumann bottleneck.In a previous video I talked about in-memory computing as a way to bring a computer’s memory closer to the compute. But making a computer that thinks like the brain - a neuromorphic...
