How many
processors?
1? 2? 4?
There is one in
here.
And at least
one in here.
What about the
graphics
card…
…o
r the
network card?
There is one in
this
vacuum cleaner.
The flash memory
chips probably have
one each.
10 in an
iPhone
?
Over 100
in a BMW.

The Problem
•
Digital electronics has one solution for almost everything:
the von Neumann processor.
•
It is great for everything from vacuum cleaners to analysing
complex civil engineering structures.
•
It is now very highly optimised.
•
There are, however, a few things it is not good at. For example:
–
Recognition of patterns
–
Development of concepts
–
Learning
–
Open ended problem solving
–
Language
–
i.e. important aspects of
perception
,
cognition
or
intelligence
