Jeder Hund sollte zum Jahresende nochmal an einem Analogrechner schnuppern!

Analogcomputer...was immer das ist

"Anna"

I wrapped up (after more than 6 months?) my little #analogcomputer trainer (hobbyist machine—whatever).

It's open—Github repo linked here. I made a few kits available (they were expensive to make though—but nice and with a nice manual!).

Mission accomplished! ✅ After some soldering my #AnalogComputer THAT („THe Analog Thing“ by anabrid) can now easily be connected with an #Arduino to build a #HybridComputing setup. 😊

How many of you still have one of these? Or even know how to use one?

Happy 200th William Thomson...the seafarer! A piece on his beautiful tide-predicting machine (a device w/ multi simultaneous independent discoveries) "Because of the complexity of the math involved [in tide prediction], many of these old brass machines remained in use into the 1950" #AnalogComputer

Dieser Hund wird übrigens in die Geschichte ein gehen! Der erste Hund der die schwäbische Alb auf einem Analogcomputer überquert hat 🤣

(Little blurry…) "Anna" programmed for Lotka-Volterra (prey/predator) equation.

1st display mode: a strip chart with prey population red, predator orange. (Predator's population lags prey's.)

2nd display mode a kind of XY oscilloscope plotting pop. in "phase space".

• Eldo C. Koenig bedient einen Analogcomputer (Analogrechner arbeiten mechanisch oder elektrisch).

1951 erhielt er für sein Paper "An Electric Analogue Computer Using the Photo Cell as a Non-Linear Element" den Alfred Nobel Prize, der von der American Society of Civil Engineers verliehen wird.

*Was sind Analogcomputer?*
Sind Mathematikstudierende heute dümmer als früher? Und warum sollten wir Menschen eigentlich den Mars kolonisieren?
Host Thomas Ramge fragt: Bernd Ulmann, Gründer, Analog-Chipentwickler und Informatiker.

An #AnalogComputer may be particularly suitable for tech such as #ArtificialIntelligence #AI. A promising direction involves #OpticalComputers that process information with light rather than with electrical currents. To do so, #metamaterials could be required. physics.aps.org/articles/v17...
Metamaterials for Analog Optical Computing
Novel metamaterial-based architectures offer a promising platform for building mass-producible, reprogrammable schemes that perform computing tasks with light.

Nahezu unglaublich: Eine Physikerin modelliert das zerebrale Mikrovaskulärsystem des Gehirns mittels Federmechanik/Knotenregel, sieht darin Parallelen zum Lernen per Gradient Descent und neuerfindet mit den Bastelleien ihres Ehemannes den Analogcomputer 😳

Die rasante Entwicklung und Verbreitung von KI-Anwendungen zwingt zur Suche nach energieeffizienten Rechnersystemen.
Der Analogcomputer kommt zurück - auch für's Quantenrechnen könnte das von Vorteil sein.

3/6 Multi-Spezies-Diversität

Auch Computer kennen verschiedene Spezies. Neben den klassischen Digitalrechnern können auch Analogcomputer für KI-Anwendungen genutzt werden, ihre Funktionsweise ähnelt biologischen Nervenzellen.

A slide rule is an #AnalogComputer but an abacus is digital. Think about that.
I see #AnalogComputing referenced a lot, recently with much of it stating a “return” of analog computers.

“The news of my demise has been premature.”

Your smartphone has at least 3 analog processors: accelerometer, gyroscope, image.

They’re ubiquitous; you just didn’t know the name for it.

The simple definition to #AnalogComputer is this: a digital representation of a real-world, physical model.

The gyroscope in your smartphone is an electronic version of the physical object for the same job: so your phone’s software knows the attitude of your device in a 3D space.
