Recent results suggest that, for certain computational tasks fundamental to modern artificial intelligence, light-based “optical computers” may offer an advantage.
The development of optical computing is “paving the way for breakthroughs in fields that demand high-speed and high-efficiency processing, such as artificial intelligence.
Optical neural networks still far from displacing the electronic chips that run neural networks outside of labs.
HITOP could run machine learning models 25,000 times larger than previous chip-based ONNs.
Other groups have created optical computers with different advantages.
But optical computing has advanced quickly over the past several years .
Last year his group ran simulations showing that, within a decade , a sufficiently large optical system could make some AI models more than 1,000 times as efficient as future electronic systems. “Lots of companies are now trying hard to get a 1.5 -times benefit. A thousand -times benefit, that would be amazing,” he said. “This is maybe a 10-year project — if it succeeds.”.
