A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

Could updated analog computer technology – popular from about 1940-1970 –be developed to build high-speed CPUs for certain specialized applications? Researchers at the Defense Advanced Research ...

In 1961, the best general purpose desktop computer money could buy was the Pace TR-48. At just 400 pounds and $25K, the only downside was that it was a little tough to program. That's because the ...

While digital computers have become entrenched in our daily lives, a new analog quantum computer offers a stark contrast in both its design and capabilities. A team of physicists from Stanford ...

The Antikythera Mechanism was salvaged out of a shipwreck in 1900. It's the original HotHardware -- the first known example of an analog computing device. Scientists estimated it was made in 100 BC.

Your design task, should you decide to accept it: given an input voltage, square it. Ok, that’s too hard since squaring 8 volts would give you 64 volts, so let’s say the output should be 10% of the ...

A new compiler for analog computers has been developed, a program that translates between high-level instructions written in a language intelligible to humans and the low-level specifications of ...

The distinction between analog and digital signals is very simple, but it can still be a challenge to wrap one's mind around the concepts that define the two systems. Just when you think you've got it ...

Microsoft’s Experimental Optical Computer Could Run AI Workloads With Less Energy Your email has been sent Research conducted by the Microsoft Research lab in Cambridge could contribute to the ...

I’ve now discussed the basics of the frequency folding tool from Analog Devices in two previous blog posts this year, Analog Devices Design Tools: ADISimADC Frequency Folding Tool and Analog Devices ...
