Power usage?Power usage?Posted Jun 20, 2008 8:39 UTC (Fri) by epa (subscriber, #39769)In reply to: Power usage? by emk Parent article: The Kernel Hacker's Bookshelf: Ultimate Physical Limits of Computation
I was just thinking of normal, non-reversible computation, constrained to dissipate at most one watt of heat. Do any reversible computing devices currently exist? (Yes, I know a NOT gate exists, but I mean something computationally more powerful than that, preferably Turing-machine-equivalent, and specially designed to use the properties of reversible computation to minimize power consumption.)

Power usage? Posted Jun 23, 2008 6:00 UTC (Mon) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246) [Link] There sure are. One of the papers apparently describes a simple 8-bit reversible CPU.
