SANTA FE, New Mexico, Oct. 30 (TNSres) -- Santa Fe Institute issued the following news release:
Two systems exist in thermal equilibrium if no heat passes between them. Computers, which consume energy and give off heat as they process information, operate far from thermal equilibrium. Were they to stop consuming energy -- say you let your laptop discharge completely -- they would stop functioning.
But how does the amount of energy required by a physical system to perfor . . .
