Solving Problems with Hybrid Computing
Real World Problems
The nature of our world is analog. Therefore, most of the data required to solve real-world problems is also available in analog form. Unlike digital or quantum computers, hybrid computers are able to process analog data directly without energy-hungry conversion processes. At the same time, they can also process pre-processed digital data.
Shaping Equations
In contrast to the logical sequences of digital algorithms, data relationships can also be described using mathematical equations. These equations can be constructed as analog, electronic circuits. In contrast to historical analog computers, the analog circuit is automatically constructed using a digital controller. The real-world problem is therefore wrapped in a mathematical formula under digital control.
Incredible efficient
The analog computation is blazingly fast – up to 1,000 x faster compared to digital, algorithm-based calculations. At the same time, it requires only a tiny fraction – 10,000 x less – of the energy that a digital calculation would need. These capabilities enable solutions to be found for problems that would simply be inconceivable using other computing methods.
Flexibility and precision
The LUCIDAC provides dual capability as either analog results, which is ideal for real-time control systems and signal processing, ensuring high-speed and precise computations. Or for digital applications, LUCIDAC converts analog results into digital format for seamless integration hybrid environments.
Endless Purpose
Current innovation in unconventional computing is betting on successful research in the coming years. They are still far from practical use cases. In contrast, analog computing is well established with mature production and reliable components. anabrid’s unique analog-digital system architecture connects the undisputable strength of analog computing power seamlessly into the world of digital accessibility. Our patented hybrid approach is a second to none technology that opens access to a new type of ultra-high-performance and low energy supercomputer never before seen. We provide applications for several use cases, e.g. hybrid motion control in automatisation or realt-time flight wing adaptation. This combination of performance, energy efficiency and easy to program systems is unbeatable by today’s standard full digital computers. Only hybrid computing can merge the best of both worlds for more performance and less operating costs due to their undisputable energy efficiency.
