Note the focus here is on "balanced ternary" which has the values of -1, 0, 1.
It talks about the Soviets making a ternary computer in 1958 called Setun.
6:30 Nikolay Brusentsov, director of the Setun project said: "Ternary threshold logic elements as compared with the binary ones provide more speed and reliability, require less equipment and power. These where reasons to design a ternary computer".
7:23 "ternary is reappearing is artificial intelligence"
7:38 "where ternary neural networks come in"
7:40 "instead of using floating point nubmers for every weight in the neural network a ternary model retricts each weight to just three values: -1, 0, +1"
7:52 "this means that multiplication, one of the most computationally expensive operations, can be eliminated entirely in many cases"
7:59 "in turn, the memory usage drops dramatically and energy efficiency skyrockets"
8:03 "in practice, ternary neural networks can reduce energy consumption by over three times in comparison to traditional approaches"
8:11 "while still achieving similar results on image recognition and other tasks"
8:14 "this makes them ideal for running AI models on low powered devices such as wearables and drones, without sacrificing performance"
8:24 "for decades the biggest roadblock to ternary adapation was the hardware"
8:31 "recently researchers have successfully produced ternary chips using standard CMOS manufacturing, the very same method that is used for producing binary chips"
8:40 "one breakthrough design coming from South Korea called T-CMOS uses quantum tunneling to introduce a third logic state without the need for multiple voltage thresholds"
8:49 "this means ternary logic can now be produced at scale using existing industrial infrastructure while consuming less power and maintaining signal stability"
I guess binary is a lot easier to master though. Maybe instead of binary trees you could have ternary trees, etc.
Ternary Computing: Advantages and Future Potential
Ternary computing, which uses a base-3 system, offers significant advantages over binary systems in terms of numerical efficiency, reduced query complexity, and better error management, with potential applications in cybersecurity and data compression.
