In Australia, a breakthrough has been done, which will be most accurate described by returning to the future. They have developed and tested a programming electronic circuit to calculate the same.
At dawn of the computer device in the middle of the last century, computers, then often called “computers”, are similar and digital. The rapid development of micro -electronics has determined the choice of one of the process directions.
The strong increase in the performance of digital technologies, at first almost unlimited, is located on the ceiling: the next acceleration comes with an unacceptable energy cost and releases a large amount of heat.
The same calculation from these shortcomings is free. They are related to processing information in the form of continuous signals, allowing you to parallel to the processes, while it requires orders with smaller energy levels.
Scientists decide to return to the good past – but with the achievements of modern electronics.
We have combined physics and electronic devices to develop the first programming integrated microwave diagram capable of carrying out the matrix transformations of basic mathematical activities for modern technologies, he explained that Physician Mohammad-Bali Miri from New York City University.
The result is a similar accelerator built on the components ready 5g. The results of prototype tests are published on natural communication sites.
They are very impressive: two dozens of phasor followers perform matrix computing at a frequency of 2.1 GHz with an error of not exceeding 0.2%. At the same time, their energy consumption in the rest does not exceed 330 μW – 100 times less than LED. The system is capable of self -correction.
According to its principles, this device is far from conventional processors that compare with quantum computers. But nothing in common, and in some way, the novelty is even better.
Unlike quantum systems faced with serious expansion and stability, our similar calculation platforms are made today and can provide real use in the real world much earlier, according to Rasul Keshavars from Sydney University of Technology.
The potential areas of the application are very wide. Similar processors can operate on the next generation wireless networks, radar systems and actual space sensors, ensuring expansion monitoring in exploitation and agriculture, as well as creating new tools for industrial and scientific research.
