There has been an ever-growing demand for artificial intelligence and fifth-generation communications globally, resulting in very large computing power and memory requirements. The slowing down or ...

Artificial intelligence grows more demanding every year. Modern models learn and operate by pushing huge volumes of data through repeated matrix operations that sit at the heart of every neural ...

After months of anticipation, a new optical computer chip start-up, Procyon, has launched the revolutionary Matrix Unit, a prototype optical matrix-vector multiplier with applications to large neural ...

Oxford University spin-out Lumai has secured a £1.1m Innovate UK Smart Grant to commercialise its all-optical artificial intelligence processing technology. The money was awarded in conjunction with ...

Optical computing uses photons instead of electrons to perform computations, which can significantly increase the speed and energy efficiency of computations by overcoming the inherent limitations of ...

Oxford spin-out is latest to target AI with claims of optical processing 'breakthrough' to address compute and power challenges. Lumai, a spin-out from the UK’s University of Oxford working on a ...

Computers that can learn, combine and analyse vast amounts of information quickly, efficiently and without the need for explicit instructions are emerging as a powerful tool for handling large data ...

Boston-based Lightelligence, an optical computing innovator, has revealed its Photonic Arithmetic Computing Engine (PACE), its latest platform to integrate photonics and electronics in a small form ...

How did Lightelligence get going? Spencer Powers: I was an MBA student at MIT in 2015 when I met Yichen, who was doing a PhD with Marin Soljačić – who is also a co-founder of Lightelligence. We met in ...
