  1. On the first weekend of May I will be back in Munich at the #VCFe. There I have an exhibition on #AnalogComputing (with a #THAT and a Leybold analog computer, using a modified #Vectrex and an HP XY #plotter as output devices) and I will give a lecture on "Unconventional Computing" (in which the analog computers also play a role).

  6. A year ago I started building first prototypes of a device that would be capable of calculating #moon phases based on the historical Metonic cycle. The result was „Meton“, a 3D-printed lunar phase calculator. So if you need an #opendata moon machine, go ahead.

    Or build it yourself, from oak and steel.

    I am hoping to see lots more practical developments along the lines of: This physical phenomenon does something (by virtue of being itself) that is isomorphic to some computation. How do we couple it to the environment so that the naturally occurring computation corresponds to something we care about?

    To be honest, I am a little surprised that there haven't been more attempts at modern analog computers. This paper by Jaeger et al gives some clue as to the potential for extracting computational services from physic: arxiv.org/abs/2307.15408

    I suspect that one contributor to the lack of progress on modern analog computing is the difficulty of mapping from the user's problem of interest to the computation offered by the physical substrate. In the AOC case you need to map the user's problem to a fix-point problem (because that's all the hardware can solve). This paper by Kleyko et al deals with that issue by proposing that Vector Symbolic Architectures could be used as an intermediate abstraction between the user's problem and a wide range of nonstandard computational hardware: arxiv.org/abs/2106.05268

  21. I'm not really looking for analogue computers anymore but I could not resist this small one: a gorgeous Philbrick Researches RP-F manifold from around 1966. I have not yet checked if it is still operational...
