Lightelligence optical AI accelerator prototype released

[HEXUS]

Said to improve latency by 10,000x, with drastically reduced power consumption too.

Wait, I invented this in my Dreams - I Own this, You can't steal it away, The is intellectual dream property Theft!!!

This is the Future, but i would be shocked to see this being used in the next 10 years. There is alot of going on in this field and they aren't the only ones doing this, they do have a the right minded people behind it for sure.

Most Starfleet ships run on an ODN (optical data network) system. Aside from the original Enterprise which, by the sounds of things, ran on floppy drives and / or punch cards. You didn't invent this. People who make up cool sounding acronyms for sci-fi did.

Now, where did I put the green stuff?

EDIT: Actually, what will be ultra cool will be if they can increase bandwidth by encoding in the spin / orbital angular momentum of the light being used. That way you can encode in at least four different ways and you could probably employ orthogonal frequency division multiplexing as well. Which would be nice. What I want to know is if they're using light as a particle or a wave and are there different, weird quantum effects to account for?

Don't confuse fiction with fact. There are only so many elements to quantum theory and so it has likely already been seen and solved. There is more to this picture than factual science.

I do think that light is not the answer - it's more likely that we will encode stuff with gravity now and in the future. Such has been suggested

Um, it was a joke... but for your sake I shall absolutely stop making jokes, no matter how blatantly obvious.

Didn't mean to offend! Apologies phile

No worries, I was being intentionally sarcastically pratish. Because I am a prat.

Oh yeh, forgot where I was. Done.

INTEL already did R&D on this tech years ago, I believe back in 2005. I recall reading an in depth article showing a working chipset/cpu using this same technology. Whoever outs it first, I hope I am around to see and use it.

It's really hard to tell with these types of things how long it will take to come to consumers. Hopefully more R&D goes into it and similar technologies to allow us to break through the Moore's Law barriers.
