Photonic innovation: researchers in the US have created an optical metamaterial that can perform vector–matrix multiplication. (Courtesy: iStock/Henrik5000) A new silicon photonics platform that can ...

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 ...

“Several manufacturers have already started to commercialize near-bank Processing-In-Memory (PIM) architectures. Near-bank PIM architectures place simple cores close to DRAM banks and can yield ...

Sparse matrix computations are prevalent in many scientific and technical applications. In many simulation applications, the solving of the sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SpMV) is critical for ...

Over the last few issues, we've been talking about the math entity called a matrix. I've given examples of how matrices are useful and how matrix algebra can simplify complicated problems. A messy ...
