Don't underestimate the power of a yes-or-no question. Some of the toughest computing problems boil down to thousands of tiny ...

Computer-generated holography (CGH) provides an approach to digitally modulate a given wavefront. This technology, partly inherited from optical holography and partly advanced by the progress of ...

A line of engineering research seeks to develop computers that can tackle a class of challenges called combinatorial optimization problems. These are common in real-world applications such as ...

Memristor-based chips could solve demanding optimization problems far faster and with less energy by replacing dense ...

Over the course of my 25-year career in the mathematical optimization software industry, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “Can you tell me what mathematical ...

We walk through an optimization problem step by step, clearly explaining how to identify variables, set up the correct function, apply derivatives, and find maximum or minimum values. Each step is ...

You make decisions every day. Some are big, and some are small. But even the small decisions involve a great deal of complexity. Let me show you what I mean. Take something you probably do regularly: ...

The technology uses predictive algorithms to identify frequently accessed data and move it between flash storage and high-speed memory in real time, reducing the amount of expensive DRAM a data center ...
