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.

At one time a scientist or engineer trying to solve a tough problem with electronic computation had the choice of an analog computer, a digital computer, or both together in a hybrid configuration.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The pursuit of faster and more efficient computing has been a driving force in technological progress for decades. As the demand for computational power continues to grow, ...

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 ...
