The Turing/von Neumann model of computing is dominant today but is
by no means the only one. This textbook explores an important
subset of alternatives, including those such as quantum and
neuromorphic, which receive daily news attention. The models are
organized into distinct groups. After a review of the Turing/von
Neumann model to set the stage, the author discusses those that
have their roots in the Turing/von Neumann model but perform
potentially large numbers of computations in parallel; models that
do away with the preplanned nature of the classical model and
compute from just a statement of the problem; others that are
simply mathematically different, such as probabilistic and
reversible computation; models based on physical phenomena such as
neurons; and finally those that leverage unique physical phenomena
directly, such as quantum, optical, and DNA-based computing.
Suggested readings provide a jumping-off point for deeper learning.
A supplemental website contains chapters that did not make it into
the book, as well as exercises, projects, and additional resources
that will be useful for more in-depth investigations. The Zen of
Exotic Computing is intended for computer science students
interested in understanding alternative models of computing. It
will also be of interest to researchers and practitioners
interested in emerging technology such as quantum computing,
machine learning, and AI.
