12 Mar 2013 - Maxeler talk at MIT
On Mar 1, Oskar Mencer (CEO) spoke at the CRIBB seminar at MIT. Abstract: Complexity of computation is a function of the underlying representation. We are extending this basic concept to consider representation of computational problems on the application level, the model level, the architecture level, arithmetic level and gate level of computation. In particular, [...]
