To make sense of the world, most humans rely in great part on their vision. Recent research suggests that the human visual system is hierarchical, meaning that it processes information on different levels, ranging from […]

Building the current crop of artificial intelligence chatbots has relied on specialized computer chips pioneered by Nvidia, which dominates the market and made itself the poster child of the AI boom.This post was originally published […]

Two-and-a-half years after breaking the exascale barrier, the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory continues to set new standards for its computing speed and performance.This post was originally published on […]

The Bay Area has just won a coveted crown in computing, with a massive new machine at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory deemed the most powerful system in the world.This post was originally published on this […]

A paper published in Proceedings of the 37th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, by researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute, introduces EgoTouch, a tool that uses artificial intelligence to […]

Computers are essential for solving complex problems in fields such as scheduling, logistics, and route planning, but traditional computers struggle with large-scale combinatorial optimization, as they can’t efficiently process vast numbers of possibilities. To address […]

Can we ever see too much data? Yes, actually. In certain situations, visual overload can paralyze decision-making. Adding one more screen, one more monitor, one more chart, table, ticker or graph becomes counterproductive.This post was […]

Increasingly sophisticated computer graphics and spatial 3D sound are combining to make the virtual world of games bigger, badder and more beautiful than ever. And beyond sight and sound, haptic technology can create a sense […]

Technion Researchers have developed a software package that enables computers to perform processing operations directly in memory, bypassing the CPU. This is a significant step toward developing computers that perform calculations in memory, avoiding time-consuming […]

Edge computing devices, devices located in proximity to the source of data instead of in large data centers, could perform computations locally. This could reduce latency, particularly in real-time applications, as it would minimize the […]
