Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful—but it's also racking up a massive energy bill. Some estimate that one ...

Why the Future of AI & Computers Will Be Analog explores the resurgence of analog computing as a powerful and speedy ...

Although computers are overwhelmingly digital today, there’s a good point to be made that analog computers are the more efficient approach for specific applications. The authors behind a recent paper ...

A team of engineers has proven that their analog computing device, called a memristor, can complete complex, scientific computing tasks while bypassing the limitations of digital computing. A team of ...

Comparing digital compute with analog compute What strides have been taken to make analog a better alternative to digital? How deep neural networks come into play. In 1974, Theodore Nelson, the ...

Back in September this year, I wrote a blog on analog computing for AI applications. This followed from ongoing efforts by a few organizations to use analog computing hardware and systems in a ...

A technical paper titled “Accelerating AI Using Next-Generation Hardware: Possibilities and Challenges With Analog In-Memory Computing” was published by researchers at Lund University and Ericsson ...

When your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. That’s an old saying and perhaps somewhat obvious, but our tools do color our solutions and sometimes in very subtle ways. For ...

This component has an aluminum frame and three gears on top. It appears to have two similar mechanisms on the inside – each includes a shaft, a screw with linkages, and a cylinder turned by rotating a ...

I'm sure nearly everyone has by now heard that Google “proved” the D-Wave 2 they operate jointly with NASA (mainly paid for by Google) can operate “up to ∼ 10 8 times faster”. If not, you might want ...
