An apples to apples comparison of the costs associated with running various usage patterns on-premises and with AWS requires more than a simple comparison of hardware expense versus always-on utility pricing for compute and storage. Massive economies of scale and efficiency improvements allow AWS to continually lower prices.

Hadoop’s value—being able to crunch large datasets—often paled in comparison to its costs. Doubly so as hardware improved, eating away at the lower end of Hadoop-worthy work.

The goal is to produce a low-energy hardware classifier for embedded applications doing local processing of sensor data. Race logic has four primary operations that are easy to implement in hardware: MAX, MIN, ADD-CONSTANT, and INHIBIT. One efficient way of doing that in analog hardware is the use of current-starved inverters.
