The higher the GHz of the processor, the greater its computing capabilities and scientists have now managed to clock 100 GHz on this all-optic processor.

An international team of scientists led by researchers at the Peking University in China has designed a revolutionary ‘all-optical’ chip that uses light to synchronize the speed of processors ...

The large-scale Pace processor, which has more than 16,000 photonic components, can solve difficult computing tasks, demonstrating the feasibility of the system for real world applications.

High-performance computing (HPC) refers to the practice of aggregating computing resources into clusters that can analyze huge volumes of data in parallel, and process calculations at speeds far ...

The mathematics of Amdahl’s law assume there is a limit to parallel speed-up, assuming some things are constant, such as the problem size and the nature of the processors doing the computation.

That is the absolute limit, though. No more capacitors This latest bit of research has successfully solved the capacitance problem and may bring the benefits of high speed optics to the chip level.

Science – Parallel programming of an ionic floating-gate memory array for scalable neuromorphic computing Abstract Neuromorphic computers could overcome efficiency bottlenecks inherent to conventional ...
