Photonic Computing
8 reportsA detailed treatment of Photonic Computing follows algorithms and interfaces; security and reliability; and deployment constraints. The analysis begins with independent implementation for deployment constraints, and uses benchmarks to identify where the explanation succeeds or fails; the main constraint is that results can depend on workload, hardware, configuration, and threat model.
