I still don’t quite get what this is. From what I’ve just read it’s transistors with zero heat dissipation caused by zero-ing out the RAM.
So okay, we have perfect RAM which never needs to be zero’d out, and 1 can be easily be reversed to a 0 if we know the operation that yielded it… but what is the actual computational benefit here?
For a computer to have reversible RAM, doesn’t that mean we would need to store more computation in order to roll back operations (and again, why would we want to?)
Reversible Computing
In theory, we could make computers consume orders of magnitude less power, enabling extreme miniaturization of systems.
