Abstract

A thermodynamic RAM circuit composed of a group of AHaH (Anti-Hebbian and Hebbian) computing circuits that form one or more kT-RAM circuits. The AHaH computing circuits can be configured as an AHaH computing stack. The kTRAM circuit(s) can include one or core kT-Cores, each partitioned into AHaH nodes of any size via time multiplexing. The kT-Core couples readout electrodes together to form a larger combined kT-Core. AHaH Computing is the theoretical space encompassing the capabilities of AHaH nodes. At this level of development, solutions have been found for problems as diverse as classification, prediction, anomaly detection, clustering, feature learning, actuation, combinatorial optimization, and universal logic.
