Some of the basic characteristics of analogue computers are summarized and previous applications in the operational research field are reviewed. The paper briefly reports on four investigations which ...

We are all used to modular construction in the analogue synth world, to the extent that there’s an accepted standard for it in EuroRack. But the same techniques are just as useful wherever else ...

An analogue computer chip can run an artificial intelligence (AI) speech recognition model 14 times more efficiently than traditional chips, potentially offering a solution to the vast and growing ...

Physicists have invented a new type of analogue quantum computer that can tackle hard physics problems that the most powerful digital supercomputers cannot solve. New research published in Nature ...

Binary is so 20th century. Software King of the World Microsoft has come up with an analogue optical computer which it claims is not limited by the binary confines of zeros and ones, but instead, is ...

The human brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons, and each one of those communicates with many others by releasing neurotransmitters. Those neurotransmitters cross a gap - properly known as ...

In a computer experiment, the data are produced by a computer program that models a physical system. The experiment consists of a set of model runs; the design of the experiment specifies the choice ...

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 pages or ...

Reading the time on an analogue clock is surprisingly difficult for computers, but artificial intelligence can now do so accurately using a method that had previously proved tricky to deploy. Computer ...

Was the Antikythera Mechanism really used for time travel? Or was it actually the first Analogue Computer... In Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, they embark on a quest for the missing pieces of ...
