The analog computer of decades-gone-by is something many of us younger engineers never got the chance to experience first hand. It’s pretty much a case of reading about them on these fine pag… ...

Nevertheless, it was and still is a cool technology. Analog computers represented constants and variables with proportional analog voltage levels. These were then processed by various electronic ...

An analog computer uses easily measurable quantities such as voltages or rotations (rather than programming languages, codes, or algorithms) to represent numbers.

A new compiler for analog computers has been developed, a program that translates between high-level instructions written in a language intelligible to humans and the low-level specifications of ...

Today, most of what we think of as a computer uses digital technology. But that wasn’t always the case. From slide rules to mechanical fire solution computers to electronic analog computers, … ...

In the 2nd of a 4 part series on Analog Computing, Bob Pease whips up an op amp circuit as an Analog Computer to simulate a car wheel's motion over a bump This simple six-op-amp circuit is an ...

Writing computer programs, commonly referred to as ‘code’, may soon become much easier, thanks to an initiative led by computer scientists from Rice University, in Houston, Texas. The goal of ...
