Industrial PCs
Awards given for high-performance computing programs
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces a $3.6 million investment in high-performance computing to help address key challenges in U.S. manufacturing, material, and mobility development.
IT/OT convergence provides a path forward
Long before Industry 4.0 and cloud-connected architectures became possible, innovators championed PC-based technologies for industrial automation.
Poised to go all-in on edge
Edge computing is a mesh network of micro-data centers that process or store critical data locally while also working in concert with a central data center or cloud-storage repository.
Framework developed to make AI more transparent without sacrificing performance
North Carolina State University researchers are proposing a framework that would allow users to understand the rationale behind artificial intelligence (AI) decisions, which would improve transparency and move away from black box systems.
Quantum technology seeks to control light with precision
Stanford University researchers have has built an integrated circuit to control the flow of light through a diamond chip, which could help create quantum processors that are faster than the fastest electronic computers today.
Teaching supercomputers to work smarter, not harder
A University of Michigan aerospace engineer is working on high-fidelity simulations for an experimental propulsion system called a rotating detonation engine, which could help supercomputers better simulate complex physics as well as create more efficient aircraft engines.
Survey respondents show edge computing optimism
End users are optimistic about edge computing’s ability to transform industrial automation processes, according to research by Stratus Technologies and CFE Media.
Graphene nanoribbons developed to increase computing power
Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have devised a method to grow graphene nanoribbons directly on top of silicon wafers for more powerful and energy-efficient computers.
Diamond-based quantum sensor fabricated on a silicon chip
MIT researchers have fabricated a diamond-based quantum sensor on a silicon chip. The advance, called a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center, could pave the way toward low-cost, scalable hardware for quantum computing, sensing, and communication.
Advanced microprocessor built out of carbon nanotubes
MIT researchers have developed an approach that harnesses the same fabrication processes used for silicon chips, offers key advance toward next-generation computers.
