Two Cases Where Simulation Fills the Gap

8 am PDT / 11 am EDT / 5 pm CET Laboratory or in-field measurements are often considered the gold standard for certain aspects of power system design; however, measurement approaches always have limitations.  Simulation can help overcome some of these limitations, including speeding up the design process, reducing design costs, and assessing situations that…

Google AI breakthrough means chatbots use six times less memory during conversations without compromising performance

Google engineers have developed a method to compress artificial intelligence (AI) data so that it requires up to six times less working memory to function. With the new system, called TurboQuant, AI algorithms could retain the same amount of information and perform equally powerful computations, but with significantly less memory hardware, the company says. Current…

What’s faster than light? Darkness

The speed of light in a vacuum has been known as both a universal constant and a hard speed limit for all matter in the universe ever since Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity in 1905. Rules, however, are made to be broken. And an international team of physicists appears to have found…
