Catalytic Computing Taps the Full Power of a Full Hard Drive
SMRTR summary
Researchers discovered that adding full storage space can theoretically enhance computer power, challenging assumptions about memory's role in computation. This "catalytic computing" concept led to breakthroughs in solving the tree evaluation problem, potentially placing it in the L complexity class and prompting a rethink of approaches to the P versus L problem in computer science.
