“Many business leaders are looking to quantum computing as the promising successor to classical computing, but research shows–and leaders in quantum computing agree–it will continue to underperform classical computing in many areas,” says Thompson.

Key Points:

“Many business leaders are looking to quantum computing as the promising successor to classical computing, but research shows–and leaders in quantum computing agree–it will continue to underperform classical computing in many areas,” says Thompson.
“As a result, to understand where quantum computing will perform better first requires understanding why it can be.”
The research paper finds that quantum computers must meet two conditions to yield an improvement on classical computers.
While these factors sound straightforward, they have powerful implications regarding which problems will benefit from quantum computing and which won’t.
Unfortunately, even if quantum computers could theoretically be better, they often aren’t in practice because current and near-term quantum computers have limited computational capacity, so they aren’t powerful enough to run the problems where quantum computers are better.

Today's machine learning (ML) training systems are deployed on top of traditional datacenter fabrics with electrical packet switches arranged in a multi-tier topology.

Key Points:

Today's machine learning (ML) training systems are deployed on top of traditional datacenter fabrics with electrical packet switches arranged in a multi-tier topology.
The collaboration between Telescent and MIT CSAIL focused on improving the training time for machine learning workflows by optimizing the communication between workers in the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cluster through programmable network connections.
To address this challenge, the MIT CSAIL researchers proposed TopoOpt, a reconfigurable optical datacenter for DNN (Deep Neural Network) training leveraging the unique performance and scalability of the Telescent programmable patch panel.

GWANGJU, South Korea, April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban real-world environments have limited physical space for foot-based locomotion and present challenges to natural VR locomotion (since virtual environments are much larger than the corresponding real-world environment), a fact that has been noted in past studies (Mandal 2013; Pai and Kunze 2017). To compensate for this challenge, efficient virtual reality (VR)-based locomotion techniques have been proposed to enable natural and immersive locomotion experiences akin to walking in large, virtual environments. However, the VR locomotion systems often require attaching an equipment to the body or video-recording the user's body pose. This leads to discomfort caused by equipment size and discontinuous adjustment as well as privacy concerns related to capturing the entire body without blind spots. Against this backdrop, researchers from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea in collaboration with researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL), USA developed a novel foot-based VR locomotion system, called "Seamless-walk," that offers a more natural and comfortable locomotion experience without requiring the use of any walking equipment or a video of the user's body pose during walking or interaction with objects using their hands.

Key Points:

To compensate for this challenge, efficient virtual reality (VR)-based locomotion techniques have been proposed to enable natural and immersive locomotion experiences akin to walking in large, virtual environments.
However, the VR locomotion systems often require attaching an equipment to the body or video-recording the user's body pose.
In their recent article published online on 17 January 2023 in the journal Virtual Reality , the researchers, led by Dr. Kyung-Joong Kim, Associate Professor at GIST, have detailed the development of the VR locomotion system.
At the same time, it does not compromise the overall VR experience, outperforming existing VR locomotion methods.
