"Picture a world where computing is not limited by the binary confines of zeros and ones, but instead, is free to explore the vast possibilities of continuous value data." That s Microsoft s research blog, describing its newly-developed Analog Iterative Machine, an analog optical computer designed.
Microsoft's AIM isn't exactly a computer, at least in the traditional sense, as it doesn't use bits or bytes to process data and make calculations. But it's.
Microsoft Research's Analog Iterative Machine (AIM) can handle certain computing tasks that traditional transistor computer cannot. It will be used in a special project for Barclays.
