For the first time, an international cadre of electrical engineers has developed a new method for photonic in-memory computing that could make optical computing a reality in the near future. The team ...

We all know AI has a power problem. On the whole, global AI usage already drew as much energy as the entire nation of Cyprus did in 2021. But engineering researchers at the University of Minnesota ...

A Nature paper describes an innovative analog in-memory computing (IMC) architecture tailored for the attention mechanism in large language models (LLMs). They want to drastically reduce latency and ...

In-memory computing (IMC) has had a rough go, with the most visible attempt at commercialization falling short. And while some companies have pivoted to digital and others have outright abandoned the ...

In popular media, “AI” usually means large language models running in expensive, power-hungry data centers. For many applications, though, smaller models running on local hardware are a much better ...
