Abstract
Neuromorphic circuits and devices have been introduced in the last decades as elements of a key strategy for developing of new paradigms of computation, inspired by the intent to mimic elementary neuron structure and biological mechanisms, for the overcoming of energy and timeconsuming bottlenecks achieved by digital computing (DC) technologies. Although the term "neuromorphic" is in common use, its meaning is often misunderstood and indistinctly associated with many different technologies, based on both conventional and unconventional electronic components and architectures. Here an overview of the different technological strategies used for developing neuromorphic computing systems is proposed, with an insight on the neuromorphic features they implement and a special focus on the technological strategies and patents that exploit unconventional computing paradigms.
期刊介绍:
Recent Patents on Nanotechnology publishes full-length/mini reviews and research articles that reflect or deal with studies in relation to a patent, application of reported patents in a study, discussion of comparison of results regarding application of a given patent, etc., and also guest edited thematic issues on recent patents in the field of nanotechnology. A selection of important and recent patents on nanotechnology is also included in the journal. The journal is essential reading for all researchers involved in nanotechnology.
