Researchers have developed a new kind of nanoelectronic device that could dramatically cut the energy consumed by artificial intelligence hardware by mimicking the human brain. The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, developed a […]
A team of Korean researchers has developed the world’s first technology that can freely connect and disconnect core computing resources such as memory and accelerators with “light” in next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) datacenters. Electronics and […]
