When it comes to hard problems, computer scientists seem to be stuck. Consider, for example, the notorious problem of finding the shortest round-trip route that passes through every city on a map ...

Today’s GenAI arms race is fought with novel chip architectures and packaging. Specialized hardware designs are proliferating in the form of GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, and more, all tuned for parallelism and ...

A subtle but profound transformation is underway – one that’s redefining how people search and what content Google considers worth finding. We’ve all seen the headlines and the data: younger users are ...

Like the rest of its Big Tech cadre, Google has spent lavishly on developing generative AI models. Google’s AI can clean up your text messages and summarize the web, but the company is constantly ...

This paper presents a novel approach to the joint optimization of job scheduling and data allocation in grid computing environments. We formulate this joint optimization problem as a mixed integer ...

Ising machines demonstrate significant potential to tackle computationally complex challenges, including combinatorial optimization problems related to logistics, manufacturing, finance, and AI. The ...

The Brandon Shores coal-fired plant. Source: Talen Energy. A Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) substation failure early Monday morning caused Talen Energy’s Brandon Shores Units 1 and 2 to trip offline ...

The Democrats’ problems run deep, nearly everywhere. This is where voters shifted toward President Trump in each of the last three elections. And this is where voters shifted toward Democrats. By ...

A serendipitous observation in a Chemical Engineering lab at Penn Engineering has led to a surprising discovery: a new class of nanostructured materials that can pull water from the air, collect it in ...
