Scientists have developed a neuromorphic chip for running AI applications that can perform computations directly in memory without requiring a network connection with a cloud. In addition, the chip consumes a small amount of energy making it more efficient than other chips. The discovery is expected to enable AI to be used in a range of edge devices where it can perform a host of sophisticated tasks without relying on a centralised server. The NeuRRAM chip has proven to be more efficient than the compute-in-memory chips…
