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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Analog computing has attracted growing attention in the AI hardware field in recent years for its remarkable advantages in energy efficiency and processing speed. A research team from Nanjing ...

This partnership is set to create a path to a hybrid data centre in the form of infrastructure that is accessible to users ...

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 ...

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 ...

This object has a metal plate box construction, allen cap screws, and metal gears and ball bearings. It appears to be a two unit component integrator . A tag on the bottom reads: BUR. ORD. ASSEMBLY ...
