Photonic Supercomputer For AI: 10X Faster, 90% Less Energy, Plus Runway For 100X Speed Boost
Posted by Dan Kummer in categories: robotics/AI, supercomputing
The Lightmatter photonic computer is 10 times faster than the fastest NVIDIA artificial intelligence GPU while using far less energy. And it has a runway for boosting that massive advantage by a factor of 100, according to CEO Nicholas Harris.
In the process, it may just restart a moribund Moore’s Law.
Or completely blow it up.
