Abstract
A novel class of information-processing systems called cellular neural networks is proposed. Like neural networks, they are large-scale nonlinear analog circuits that process signals in real time. Like cellular automata, they consist of a massive aggregate of regularly spaced circuit clones, called cells, which communicate with each other directly only through their nearest neighbors. Each cell is made of a linear capacitor, a nonlinear voltage-controlled current source, and a few resistive linear circuit elements. Cellular neural networks share the best features of both worlds: their continuous-time feature allows real-time signal processing, and their local interconnection feature makes them particularly adapted for VLSI implementation. Cellular neural networks are uniquely suited for high-speed parallel signal processing. >

An Introduction to Spin Wave Computing

TL;DR: It is argued that spin-wave circuits need to be embedded in conventional CMOS circuits to obtain complete functional hybrid computing systems and the benchmark indicates that hybridspin-wave--CMOS systems promise ultralow-power operation and may ultimately outperform conventionalCMOS circuits in terms of the power-delay-area product.

Neurons with graded response have collective computational properties like those of two-state neurons.

TL;DR: A model for a large network of "neurons" with a graded response (or sigmoid input-output relation) is studied and collective properties in very close correspondence with the earlier stochastic model based on McCulloch - Pitts neurons are studied.
