A computer that's 100x faster and 100x more energy efficient for solving difficult optimization problems? Today in @Nature, we @MSFTResearch describe a working analog optical computer, in collaboration with @Barclays. Looking also to other domains, eg, healthcare.

Optimization problems have long been the bread-and-butter of computer science, but weirdly the right computing architecture has never been completely settled. This exploration into an analog-optical approach -- the Analog Iterative Machine @MSFTResearch -- is showing a lot of promise. And it's cool to see it working for real. microsoft.com/en-us/research…

What if practical problems could be solved at the speed of light?
It’s a possibility with the Analog Interactive Machine (AIM), a unique “optical” computer developed by the Microsoft Research Lab in Cambridge. Learn how @Barclays is putting AIM to use: msft.it/6017gtupF

“When you actually see the scale of a datacenter, you start to think about things very differently. You start to think about, what does it mean to actually make something that works in that environment?”
