Ask HN: Is DynexSolve neuromorphic computing real?

3 points

3 years ago

There is a cryptocurrency hype machine pumping a distributed computing based on GPUs. It is supposed to provide a platform performing certain real computing tasks at speeds unheard of. Supposedly they are emulating something known as a memristor on GPUs.

I'm sceptical because if it was such a leap, why would it only be hyped in that scene? I'm clueless on the technical details.

Could someone with more insight take a quick look if is real or not?
