Analog computers are systems that perform computations by manipulating physical quantities such as electrical current, that ...

Optical computing uses photons instead of electrons to perform computations, which can significantly increase the speed and energy efficiency of computations by overcoming the inherent limitations of ...

What if a century-old computing concept suddenly leapfrogged the most advanced GPUs on the planet? That’s exactly what researchers at Peking University have demonstrated with a new analog processor ...

Computer scientists are a demanding bunch. For them, it’s not enough to get the right answer to a problem — the goal, almost always, is to get the answer as efficiently as possible. Take the act of ...
