Engineers at MIT have turned one of computing’s biggest headaches, waste heat, into the main act. By sculpting “dust-sized” silicon structures that steer heat as precisely as electrical current, they ...

Computer scientists have discovered a new way to multiply large matrices faster by eliminating a previously unknown inefficiency, leading to the largest improvement in matrix multiplication efficiency ...

MIT researchers have designed silicon structures that can perform calculations in an electronic device using excess heat ...

Computer scientists are a demanding bunch. For them, it’s not enough to get the right answer to a problem — the goal, almost always, is to get the answer as efficiently as possible. Take the act of ...

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 ...

Nearly all big science, machine learning, neural network, and machine vision applications employ algorithms that involve large matrix-matrix multiplication. But multiplying large matrices pushes the ...

Distributed computing has markedly advanced the efficiency and reliability of complex numerical tasks, particularly matrix multiplication, which is central to numerous computational applications from ...

I have the sense that some perspective is missing here. People should remember that every Boomer didn't spring wholly evil from the mind of a mid-1940's supervillain. The father figures of the Boomers ...
