Engineers have reached a theoretical limit for efficiently converting analog data into digital bits in an emerging computer technology. The future of computing may be analog. The digital design of ...

During the 1950s and 1960s, analog computers were initially used for science, mathematics, and engineering. However, instead of having discrete data (such as binary digits), analog computers use ...

The physics world is, unfortunately, full of jargon. So, what does analog computing mean and what is its relationship to our own digital computers? Analog computers precede the digital computer, ...

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have pushed forward the development of computer vision with new, ...

Likewise, we won’t see old analog computers in data centers anytime soon. They were monstrous beasts: difficult to program, expensive to maintain, and limited in accuracy. Or so I thought.

Aug. 22, 2024 — Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data ...

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… ...

Memory as an analog computer Phase change memory is based on materials that can take two different forms as a solid. When cooled slowly from a liquid state, they'll form a crystalline material ...

Jun 11, 2024: Programmable wave-based computer advances analog computing (Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for ...

Built around the beginning of the 1st century BCE, the Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest known analog computer in human history, and there’s an enduring mystery surrounding what it was used ...
