IBM uses light for ultra-fast computing in AI systems By IANS| Published: 10th January 2021 7:28 pm IST New Delhi, Jan 10 : IBM researchers have developed a way to dramatically reduce latency in Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems by using light, instead of electricity, to create ultra-fast computing. The IBM team, along with scientists from the universities of Oxford, Muenster and Exeter, achieved this by using photonic integrated circuits that use light instead of electricity for computing. The light-based tensor core could be used, among other applications, for autonomous vehicles. In...
