Recent Development in Analog Computation - A Brief Overview
The recent development in analog computation is reviewed in this paper.
Analog computation was used in many applications where power and energy
efficiency is of paramount importance. It is shown that by using innovative
architecture and circuit design, analog computation systems can achieve much
higher energy efficiency than their digital counterparts, as they are able to
exploit the computational power inherent to the devices and physics. However,
these systems do suffer from some disadvantages, such as lower accuracy and
speed, and designers have come up with novel approaches to overcome them. The
paper provides an overview of analog computation systems, from basic components
such as memory and arithmetic elements, to architecture and system design
