Freshly Funded Optalysys Optical Processing to Speed Genomics
September 20, 2017 by
Optalysys, a start-up pioneering the development of light-speed optical coprocessors, today announced the company raised 3.95 million U.S. dollars from angel investors. Optalysys will use the funds to manufacture the first commercially available high-performance computing processor based on its patented optical processing technology.
Optalysys: Disruptive Optical Processing Technology for HPC
September 16, 2015 by
In this video from the Disruptive Technologies Session at the 2015 HPC User Forum, Nick New from Optalysis describes the company’s optical processing technology. “Optalysys technology uses light, rather than electricity, to perform processor intensive mathematical functions (such as Fourier Transforms) in parallel at incredibly high-speeds and resolutions. It has the potential to provide multi-exascale levels of processing, powered from a standard mains supply. The mission is to deliver a solution that requires several orders of magnitude less power than traditional High Performance Computing architectures.”
