The Physics of Computing by Luca Gammaitoni
English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 142 Pages | ISBN : 303087107X | 18 MB
This book presents a self-contained introduction to the physics of computing, by addressing the fundamental underlying principles that involve the act of computing, regardless of the actual machine that is used to compute. Questions like “what is the minimum energy required to perform a computation?”, “what is the ultimate computational speed that a computer can achieve?” or “how long can a memory last”, are addressed here, starting from basic physics principles.
