A computing architecture for physics
Proceedings of the 2nd conference on Computing frontiers, 2005In this paper, we show how a computing architecture, called "Salt", might be able to implement the workings of a particular Discrete Space-Time-State model of Physics (DSTSP). While what is presented is certainly not a correct model of fundamental processes in physics, it illustrates how such models could give us insights into new methods of modeling ...

Physics of computing as an introduction to computer engineering
2013 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2013This paper describes a new required course in the Georgia Tech computer engineering curriculum, ECE 3030, Physical Foundations of Computer Systems. Traditional introductory courses take a constructive approach to logic design and computer organization. 3030, in contrast, introduces the major physical concepts underlying computation.

Physical computing for everyone
2017 IEEE/ACM 39th International Conference on Software Engineering: Software Engineering Education and Training Track (ICSE-SEET), 2017Thanks to Moore's Law, embeddable microcontroller-based devices continue to get cheaper, faster, and include more integrated sensors and networking options. In 2016, the BBC and a host of technical partners, including Microsoft, delivered such a physical computing device, the micro:bit, to every 5th grader in the UK.

The physics of computed radiography
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2002Cassette-based computed radiography (CR) systems have continued to evolve in parallel with integrated, instant readout digital radiography (DR) systems. The image quality of present day CR systems is approaching its theoretical limits but is significantly inferior to DR. Further improvements in CR image quality require improved concepts.

Computation and Fundamental Physics
The Computer Journal, 2012‘What is computation?” is not mere taxonomy, nor simply an aid in our anthropocentric obsession with explaining our thinking process. Instead it is relevant to some of the deepest questions in the nature of the physics of our universe. Understanding what computation is may be more essential to us than we might have imagined.

Computability in Analysis and Physics
1989Since their inception, the Perspectives in Logic and Lecture Notes in Logic series have published seminal works by leading logicians. Many of the original books in the series have been unavailable for years, but they are now in print once again. In this volume, the first publication in the Perspectives in Logic series, Pour-El and Richards present the ...

Achieving greater speeds and densities in the post-Moore’s Law era will require computation to be more like the physical processes by which it is realized. Therefore we explore the essence of computation, that is, what distinguishes computational processes from other physical processes. We consider such issues as the topology of information processing,

By this point we have seen that Maxima’s built-in routines can be very helpful tools in solving physics problems. Users can expand Maxima’s usefulness by taking advantage of its programming capabilities. Although Maxima should not be viewed as a substitute for a full-featured programming language, it does have some basic programming features that allow

Various issues in theoretical physics can be fruitfully analyzed by Kolmogorov complexity. This is the case for physical aspects of information processing, and for application of complexity to physics issues. Physicists have used complexity arguments in a variety of settings like information distance, thermodynamics, chaos, biology, and philosophy.
