The Fourth Fundamental Passive Circuit Element

[gravityblock]

Exactly as I expected some out of work folks who lost their jobs after the DARPA project finished up and wasted 10 years of their  life on memristors begging for money  to continue the project on obsolete tech.  Maybe you will prove me wrong in 10 years and they will find some suckers and burn through another $40M to reach 3200 Synapse by 2025 in accordance with Moores law but I highly doubt it.

The co-creator of DARPA SyNAPSE is the founder of Knowm, and he didn't lose his job after the DARPA SyNAPSE program finished.  He was awarded government contracts to further develop the technology after the DARPA project finished, which he co-created.

Alex Nugent ---> Knowm ---> DARPA SyNAPSE ---> Alex Nugent / Knowm ---> Government contracts awarded to and commercialization of memristors through Knowm.

Memristors are necessary for the continuation of Moores law in computing.  This continuation of Moores law in computing is contrary to your unreferenced 3200 Synapses by 2025 with memristors.

Sorry I thought you knew how to count.  Here is moores law doubling every 2 years. 

2015 100 Synapse
2017 200 Synapse
2019 400 Synapse
2021 800 Synapse
2023 1600 Synapse
2025 3200 Synapse

Wrong, memristors is necessary for the continuation of Moores law in computing, and 3200 Synapses by 2025 with memristors isn't a continuation of Moores law in computing.  For one, your 3200 synapses by 2025 is based on the 100 synapses created by the university students in 2015.  The 100 synapses created by the students was a proof of concept and in no way represented Moores law for memristors in 2015.  The students could have easily created 1000 synapses in their lab.  100 synapses was all that was required for their proof of concept.

Then why didn't they create 1000 Synapses. I will tell you why because it doesn't scale, the fact they managed to squeeze 100 Synapse on single die is quite impressive and the only reason they achieved it was because they had an out of work ex HP memristor research employee who had to take on a teaching role and used this for further development on a project that he no longer had funding for.

BTW I see you did not address the fact that no one is actually funding memristors.  There are just a bunch of people looking for funding but no one actually funding development so as I keep saying even 3200 is optimistic at best.   I am looking for funding to build a cold fusion reactor, it does not mean it will actually work it just means I am just looking for funding.

They didn't create 1000 snyapses because only 100 was needed for their proof of concept.  You don't build two houses if you're only going to utilize 1 house.

Funding for memristors is now being funneled into Known in the form of government contracts and commercialization (taxation) and profits for further research and development.  In other-words, the taxpayer is funding memristors through government contracts and profits from consumer purchases.
