A variety of computing systems are promising (or threatening) to scale to a limit of thermodynamic complexity, in which the number of information-bearing degrees of freedom becomes comparable to the number of physical ones. At this point it is no longer possible to separate their physical and computational descriptions; this workshop will explore emerging insights into devices, architectures, algorithms, and applications appropriate to such enormously complex computers.
