Comment on "Entropy Generation in Computation and the Second law of Thermodynamics", by S. Ishioka and N. Fuchikami
Hugo Touchette · arXiv (Cornell University) · 1999
This brief note argues that, contrary to the claim of Ishioka and Fuchikami (chao-dyn/9902012), Landauer's principle is concerned a priori with entropy generation in computing processes. The concept of heat, in this principle, is only relevant when a connection with thermodynamics is established.
