Commnet on" Dissipation in Computation"
T Toffoli - Physical Review Letters, 1984 - APS
The letter by Porod et al.'(PGFP for short) purports to show results that disagree with
previous studies on the issue of nondissipative computation. This letter is very misleading …

Computing Without Dissipating Energy: Computers are machines and should be subject to thermodynamics; what is the minimum energy needed for computation?
AL Robinson - Science, 1984 - science.org
These popular expressions pithily convey the swee** and seemingly tyrannical sway of
the laws of thermodynamics. In the case of heat engines, such as the one in your car, the first …

The stochastic thermodynamics of computation
DH Wolpert - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
One of the central concerns of computer science is how the resources needed to perform a
given computation depend on that computation. Moreover, one of the major resource …
