While the analog computer in question did use ICs for the core op amps, the choppers and other circuitry to make them work well took up an entire board. Programming is all done with patch cables.

In the mid 1960's, an undergraduate friend invited me along to a lab where he had to run some “programs” on an analog computer. That sounded interesting. He set up his program with resistors and ...

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

The standard text for students with worked examples is "Systematic Analogue Computer Programming; Charlesworth and Fletcher" Pitman '67, which is excellent. I have a copy, which I could loan gratis.

As requested by readers, editor Andy Turudic demonstrates that it’s child’s play to set up an Analog Computer to compute a Lorenz Attractor.

To program an analog computer, you simply wrote out the equations you wanted to solve, converted them to a block diagram, then wired the various computing elements together with pluggable cords on ...

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 ...

Last week MIT researchers debuted their new compiler for analog computers at the Association for Computing Machinery's conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation. Their new compiler ...

Researchers propose a wave-based, programmable 'meta-computer' that performs various analog computations at the speed of electromagnetic waves, expanding possibilities for analog computing.
