A team of researchers from Microsoft, Cray, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre have been working on a project to speed up the use of deep learning algorithms on supercomputers.
Scientists at the University of Sussex have invented a ground-breaking new method that puts the construction of large-scale quantum computers within reach of current technology.
The fastest computer in the world today can deliver about 125 petaflops of performance, but that could quadruple in the coming years.
New training technique would reveal the basis for machine-learning systems' decisions.
A new type of nanodevice for computer microprocessors is being developed that can mimic the functioning of a biological synapse -- the place where a signal passes from one nerve cell to another in the body.
Carbon nanotubes are one of the most conductive materials ever discovered. Now, for the first time ever, scientists made a transistor using carbon nanotubes that beats silicon.
The US Navy is creating nanowires from one of the most renewable resources on the planet.
A primer on quantum computers. One day they could change the world.
According to a new study, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) at the University of Maryland have created the first programmable and reprogrammable quantum computer.
We are at the beginning of a revolution. Quantum computer calculates ground state of hydrogen with just two qubits.
Quantum computing has hit another milestone, US researchers say, with the development of a computer that can solve three algorithms and be reprogrammed.
Right in the heels of bagging the title for the fastest supercomputer in the world, Chinese scientists are already building a new machine that will vastly surpass their current record holder.
Sunway Taihulight has been named the world's fastest supercomputer, with a processing speed exceeding 100 petaflops per second. Its calculation capacity in one minute equals 32 years of calculations by a billion people using calculators.
Physicists have performed the first full simulation of a high-energy physics experiment — the creation of pairs of particles and their antiparticles — on a quantum computer.
A microchip containing 1,000 independent programmable processors has been designed. The energy-efficient "KiloCore" chip has a maximum computation rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and contains 621 million transistors.
