Try This Brand New Analog Computer - IEEE Spectrum
网页2023年12月28日 — Just as with NASA’s Apollo simulators, an analog computer handles the physics of a lunar landing, while a digital computer displays data.
THE ANALOG THING
网页THE ANALOG THING (THAT) is a high-quality, low-cost, open-source, and not-for-profit cutting-edge analog computer. THAT allows modeling dynamic systems with great speed, parallelism, and energy efficiency. Its use is intuitively interactive, experimental, and visual.
The Unbelievable Zombie Comeback of Analog Computing
网页2023年3月30日 — Engineers began using the word analog in the 1940s (shortened from analogue; they like compression) to refer to computers that simulated real-world conditions. But mechanical devices had been...

Analog Computer - Encyclopedia.com
网页2018年6月11日 — In the 1950s, RCA produced the first reliable design for a fully electronic analog computer, but by this time, many of the most complex functions of analog computers were being assumed by faster and more accurate digital computers.
Analog Computing: The Original Computers - Digi-Key Electronics
网页2024年2月5日 — People hear analog and think of relics or retro tech, but in reality, it's not just a relic of the past, but rather a powerful alternative to digital computing. By embracing continuity, passive components, and the principles of Ohm and Kirchhoff, analog computing offers simplicity, real-world accuracy, and efficiency for solving problems that ...
A Primer on Analog Computing - SIGPLAN Blog
网页2021年2月11日 — Many modern analog computers are reconfigurable and may be digitally reprogrammed to implement a variety of computations. In a series of blog posts, we will discuss some of the challenges with using analog computers and show how programming languages and compilers techniques can help.
Not Your Father’s Analog Computer - IEEE Spectrum
网页2017年12月1日 — An analog computer is a physical system configured so that it is governed by equations identical to the ones you want to solve. You impose initial conditions corresponding to those in the system you want to investigate and then allow the variables in the analog computer to evolve with time.
7.11.4: Analog Computer - Engineering LibreTexts
网页Analog computers are used to simulate physical systems. These systems may be electrical, mechanical, acoustical, or what have you. An analog computer is basically a collection of integrators, differentiators, summers, and amplifiers.
Analog Computer Museum - Introduction to Analog Computing
网页A Practical Approach to Analog Computers by John D. Strong and George Hannauer gives a good introduction to analog computing using the then new EAI-231R tube based analog computer, one of the finest instruments ever made. A very comprehensive text is the quite famous Handbook of Analog Computation from EAI.
