@virtuous_sloth@cosocial.ca @devsimsek@universeodon.com There is a technology that is using light pathways to create an "Analog" GPU which is showing some promise.

@mike@thecanadian.social @devsimsek@universeodon.com Interesting. Also confusing since GPUs are currently being used to do massively-parallel floating-point arithmetic as part of the matrix-matrix and matrix-vector math involved in the linear algebra of the models, and there's not much analog about that I am aware of. I do know that simple resister, capacity, & inductor circuits are analog representations of 2nd-order differential equations, but not sure how that would apply here. /shrug/
