A paper published this week in the journal Science Advances demonstrates an optical computing concept that could greatly accelerate AI, while reducing energy costs and heat production. Intriguingly, it does all this by way of an “infinity mirror.”Optical computers have several intrinsic advantages, provided they work. Not only does light …

Big tech is currently obsessed with scaling up artificial intelligence processing, but Google hasn’t totally forgotten about its bet on quantum computing. The company has announced a new quantum processor known as Willow, which it claims is capable of solving a problem in five minutes that would take the fastest …

  IBM has been scaling up its own quantum computing efforts over the past few years, and the company is now claiming it’ll deliver a 100x improvement in certain workloads. The company isn’t going to deliver this improvement solely through hardware, but through the deployment of new software tools, algorithms, …

TSMC to Build Supercomputing AI Chips, Ramps Wafer-Scale Computing Over the past year, companies like Cerebras have made headlines for their use of wafer-scale processing. TSMC wants to grow this area of its business and plans to build out its InFO_SoW (Integrated Fan-Out Silicon on Wafer) technology in order to …

A Competitive Apple ARM Core Could Finally Break x86’s Long Computing Monopoly Yesterday, reports surfaced claiming Apple will announce its first homegrown ARM CPU intended for desktop and laptop computing at WWDC in just a few weeks. Short-term, the announcement won’t change much, especially since Apple isn’t expected to launch …

Amazon’s AWS cloud computing service today announced that it is launching a new instance type (F1) with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The promise of FPGAs is that they are essentially chips that you can reprogram on the fly and tune them for your specific applications, making them faster than traditional CPU/GPU combinations. …
