Computer architecture

computation built from steps that can be undone so no information is erased, allowing in principle computation with arbitrarily little energy dissipation.

In computer architecture, reversible computing refers to computation built from steps that can be undone so no information is erased, allowing in principle computation with arbitrarily little energy dissipation. This meaning comes from Bennett (1973) in IBM Journal of Research and Development.[1]
