Abstract

To make clear several issues relating with the thermodynamics of computations, we perform a simulation of a binary device using a Langevin equation. Based on our numerical results, we consider how to estimate thermodynamic entropy of computational devices. We then argue against the existence of the so-called residual entropy in frozen systems such as ice.
