Domain-Specific Analog Physical Computing Accelerators
… random number generators based on the physical process and measurement hardware they use. We focus on the hardware implementation of the measurement mechanism because it places a fundamental limit on the speed of generation. Based on this analysis we show that field-programmable gate …

Modeling Synapse Formation and Growth as a Non-Biological Analog to the Brain
Efficiency in computing systems is a pressing concern as global reliance on machines and automation grows. Leveraging an understanding of the brain's exceptional computational capabilities, this study presents a preliminary nondimensionalized model of synapses, an essential component for developing …

Networked Playscapes : redefining the playground
… the intersection of urbanization and ubiquitous computing. "Smart Cities" offer an efficiency-driven solution by "programming" the city, but this centralized approach forgets that it is the people that make the city and that playing is central to being human. Digital or physical, play is an act …
