The Netherlands is emerging as a leader in neuromorphic computing, a technology that incorporates neuroscience principles to improve computing efficiencies. There is significant investment in this field globally, aiming to tackle the high energy consumption and accuracy issues prevalent in existing digital technologies. A recent innovation mission involving Dutch tech and government representatives in the UK focused on enhancing collaboration and discussion on the future of neuromorphic computing. Experts, including Dr. Johan H. Mentink, highlight that neuromorphic computing can transform the current architecture by minimizing data processing energy demands.
Current digital computers use power-hungry processes to handle data. The result is that some modern data centres use so much energy that they even need their own power plant.
Computing today stores data in one place (memory) and processes it in another place (processors). This means that a lot of energy is spent on transporting data.
