Despite how popular it is, not every business wants to be in the cloud. In fact, thousands of businesses are currently looking to transition away from the cloud to an alternative computing option instead. If this is something that you want your business to do, too, then you’re in luck. […]

As machine-learning models become larger and more complex, they require faster and more energy-efficient hardware to perform computations. Conventional digital computers are struggling to keep up. An analog optical neural network could perform the same tasks as a digital one, such as image classification or speech recognition, but because computations […]
A rendering of the Gateway building on Hearst Avenue at Arch Street. (Rendering by Weiss/Manfredi architecture firm) “In many ways, the Gateway is the crown jewel of our $6 billion Light the Way campaign,” said UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ at the Sept. 23 groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the initial phase […]
A visual model of Guy Bresler’s research would probably look something like a Venn diagram. He works at the four-way intersection where theoretical computer science, statistics, probability, and information theory collide. “There are always new things to do be done at the interface. There are always opportunities for entirely new […]
HOLYOKE — The research universities which built the Massachusetts Green High-Performance Computing Center in Holyoke a decade ago announced Thursday a $5 million expansion to its computing capacity. Computing power is as necessary to science today as a microscope for a biologist or a core bored into the earth’s crust […]
AI-powered edge computing is already pervasive in our lives. Devices like drones, smart wearables, and industrial IoT sensors are equipped with AI-enabled chips so that computing can occur at the “edge” of the internet, where the data originates. This allows real-time processing and guarantees data privacy. The NeuRRAM chip is […]
What GAO Found In 2019, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) updated its Federal Cloud Computing Strategy and established 14 key requirements for agencies to implement within three areas—security, procurement, and workforce. Cloud computing enables on-demand access to shared computing resources . The Department of Defense (DOD) has addressed […]
Researchers have pioneered a technique that can dramatically accelerate certain types of computer programs automatically, while ensuring program results remain accurate. Their system boosts the speeds of programs that run in the Unix shell, a ubiquitous programming environment created 50 years ago that is still widely used today. Their method […]
Moore’s Law is the famous prognostication by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that the number of transistors on a microchip would double every year or two. This prediction has mostly been met or exceeded since the 1970s — computing power doubles about every two years, while better and faster microchips become […]
