Researchers at the California Institute of Technology, NTT Research, and the University of Central Florida have offered a glimpse of one potential future for high-performance computing and energy-efficient generative artificial intelligence (gen AI): all-optical systems with clock speeds in excess of 100GHz.
"A computer's clock rate ultimately determines the minimum time between sequential operations or instructions. Despite exponential advances in electronic computer performance […]
