  • Abstract
    Processing technology has eclipsed memory technology for the past six decades, but processor-centric architectures are reaching their terminal efficiency. We can reboot computing on the basis of abundant memory enabled by emerging device physics, which will make computation, communication, and memory more efficient. This approach also provides a unique opportunity to address novel security threats with modern, systemic solutions.
