Neuromorphic computing emulates biological neural network structure in hardware; physical neural networks use memristors to simulate synaptic function

Dependents

These beliefs depend on this one:

• IN ml-hardware-diversification-beyond-cpu — ML training hardware has diversified from general-purpose CPUs into at least three specialized architectures — GPUs (parallel matrix ops), TPUs (tensor-optimized ASICs), and neuromorphic chips (memristor-based) — each optimized for different computational patterns.
• OUT neuromorphic-hardware-breaks-gpu-tpu-lock-in — Neuromorphic computing using memristors would break the GPU-to-TPU hardware lock-in that entrenches ML's crisis — by physically emulating biological neural network structure rather than optimizing for matrix multiplication, neuromorphic hardware would create a selection environment favoring architectures with biological robustness properties (redundancy, graceful degradation) that current matrix-operation hardware systematically selects against.
