Light-Speed Optical Tensor Computing Poised to Replace Traditional GPUs

December 12, 2025 by Mintu

The history of computing has always been defined by one recurring ambition: to process more information in less time and with less energy. For decades, silicon-based electronics have delivered on this promise, evolving from vacuum tubes to integrated circuits and then to multi-core CPUs and GPU accelerators. Yet even the latest GPUs, engineered with billions of transistors and immense parallel capabilities, have started to show their limitations. Massive AI computations, large-scale scientific simulations, and global cloud workloads have pushed GPUs to the brink of power, heat, and scalability constraints. In this backdrop emerges a groundbreaking achievement: single-shot tensor computing using … Read more

Inside the Rise of Photonic Computing Systems Powering the Future

October 25, 2025 by Mintu

The computing world stands at a transformative threshold. For decades, the microprocessor industry has been governed by Moore’s Law, where the number of transistors doubles roughly every two years. However, as we inch closer to the physical limits of silicon-based transistors, the computing landscape is evolving. Enter photonic computing systems — a revolutionary technology that leverages light, not electricity, to process data. In an era where artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and quantum simulations demand exponential computational power, traditional architectures are struggling to keep up. Photonic computing promises to break through those barriers, offering speeds measured in lightwaves and energy … Read more
