A computer that processes analog data is known as an analog computer. Analog computers store information in physical quantities in a continuous format and use measurements to perform computation.

A “cheap as chips” open-source Analog Computer can run circles around a Raspberry Pi in solving differential equations and for simulating natural phenomena. To keep costs down, the Anabrid team ...

Early computers could perform fairly complex calculations just by arranging a few analog circuits. By choosing appropriate resistor and capacitor values, arithmetic summers, integrators, and ...

Microsoft has built a prototype computer that uses light and analog signals instead of traditional binary computing. The system, developed in Cambridge, U.K., is designed to handle optimization tasks ...
