(Source: Tima Miroshnichenko) Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed an optical chip that can process almost 1.7 billion images per second. It uses a neural network that processes visual information directly without memory read/writes. Despite advances in photonic computation, the lack of scalable on-chip optical non-linearity and the loss of photonic devices limit the scalability of optical … Read more
