Thermodynamics of Computation

David Wolpert of the Santa Fe Institute has set up a website on the thermodynamics of computation:

• Thermodynamics of Computation Wiki.

Here’s the idea:

This website is the result of a successful meeting at SFI which brought together researchers from diverse disciplines including biology, computer science, physics, bioinformatics, and chemistry to discuss overlapping interesting in thermodynamics and computation.

The thermodynamic restrictions on all systems that perform computation provide...
