Computing: Super Computers Confront Climate Change

By Dick Weisinger

Researchers are using supercomputers to see the future — at least the future of weather. High-powered computers are poised to take weather prediction to a new level of accuracy. New exascale super computers are being rolled out by a number

Computing: The Dfinity Decentralized Internet Computer

By Dick Weisinger

Dfinity has created a project called ‘The Internet Computer’ which is a decentralized and non-proprietary network that developers can use as an alternative to proprietary platforms. Dominic Williams, founder and chief scientist at Dfinity, said that “big tech has hijacked

Coding: Using AI to Translate Between Programming Languages

By Dick Weisinger

Code migration. Translating computer code from one programming language to another is tedious, time consuming, and expensive. When migrating from legacy systems or legacy ways of operating, it often can’t be escaped. Code translators are also often used to rewrite

Networking: Rearchitecting the Internet to Enable Trustworthiness and Verifiability

By Dick Weisinger

Networking has changed dramatically from the original days of TCP/IP and client-server and client-client interactions. New technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, and Edge Computing have changed the amount, frequency and type of data being transmitted over

Optical Computing: Computing that Replaces Electrons with Photons

By Dick Weisinger

Optical computing is the use of photons instead of electrons for computation. The advantage of photons are that they are zero mass, have no charge and move extremely quickly. Electronic move only at about one-tenth the speed of light. Two
