Ternary optical computing systems represent an innovative leap beyond traditional binary computation by utilising three discrete logic states. This approach leverages the intrinsic advantages of ...

Last year, I wrote about the massive energy costs of AI and General Purpose Transformers like ChatGPT. The AI capabilities are amazing, but the energy and environmental cost is concerning. To ...

One of the first things we learn about computers is that they perform operations using binary code to represent values. It's a fundamental trait of computing -- but it's not a requirement. It's ...

In Part 1 of this two-part binary coded decimal (BCD) extravaganza, we introduced a bunch of bodacious concepts, including the binary (base-2) number system, binary logic, binary computers, and bits, ...
