I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, that’s an active area of research AFAIK

Maybe because that is a VERY different problem than the one discussed here.

Building a single analog chip with 1 billion neurons would cost billions of dollars in a best case scenario. A Nvidia card with 1 billion digital neurons is in the hundreds of dollars of range.

Those costs could come down eventually, but at that point CUDA may be long gone.

Do you have any references of papers/people working on this? I'm very interested in the possibilities that lie here, but have no idea where to start
