Why hybrid computing matters

Real-Time Processing

Achieving real-time obstacle detection with high precision is a major problem in autonomous navigation. This problem must be solved to minimize safety risks and optimize path planning at the same time. This will ensure safe and energy-conscious operation. An advanced hybrid computing system delivers feedback loop optimization. This system adjusts planned trajectories in real time based on detected obstacles. This enhances safety and efficiency.

Speed

Digital numerical methods for solving and simulating partial differential equations (PDEs) are inherently slow, requiring extensive computational resources and time due to stepwise discretization and iterative processing. Hybrid computing overcomes these challenges by leveraging continuous computation, enabling the rapid solution of PDEs at speeds orders of magnitude faster than traditional digital methods.

Continuous Computation

Discretization in numerical computing breaks continuous problems into steps, which can cause errors and instability, especially in complex systems or real-time applications. This leads to inaccuracies and difficulties in keeping calculations stable and precise. We offer continuous computation, thus avoiding numerical errors.

Data Conversion

Data Conversion from computer-based simulations of physical systems parameters to analog signals eliminates the need for time-intensive discretization and numerical approximations, enabling faster simulations with improved efficiency and accuracy.

Applications

Current unconventional computing is far from practical use. In contrast, analog computing is proven, with reliable components and mature production. Anabrid’s unique hybrid system combines the power of analog computing with the accessibility of digital systems. This patented technology delivers ultra-fast, energy-efficient supercomputers for uses like motion control in automation and real-time flight wing adjustments. It merges the best of both worlds, outperforming today’s fully digital computers with more power and lower costs.
