Our breakthrough work on an analog optical computer points to new ways to solve complex real-world problems with much greater efficiency. Super to see this published today in @Nature. https://t.co/vjx8lYmze5

A computer that's 100x faster and 100x more energy efficient for solving difficult optimization problems? Today in @Nature, we @MSFTResearch describe a working analog optical computer, in collaboration with @Barclays. Looking also to other domains, eg, healthcare.

We take you inside the @xai Colossus AI Supercluster with over 100,000 @NVIDIA H100 GPUs. If you want to see why the @Supermicro_SMCI liquid-cooled cluster is awesome, then check this one out. Thank you to @elonmusk and his awesome teams for making this possible #Sponsored

@FortniteStatus Remeber your loyal customers who are in Europe. Repeats in a few hours are no good for them..

[Ant Rowstron @rowstron]

@FortniteStatus What is going on? No official updates for so long, and less than 40 mins to the next show....

[Peter Lee @peteratmsr]

Optimization problems have long been the bread-and-butter of computer science, but weirdly the right computing architecture has never been completely settled. This exploration into an analog-optical approach -- the Analog Iterative Machine @MSFTResearch -- is showing a lot of promise. And it's cool to see it working for real. https://t.co/30uLXO88nB

What if practical problems could be solved at the speed of light?

It’s a possibility with the Analog Interactive Machine (AIM), a unique “optical” computer developed by the Microsoft Research Lab in Cambridge. Learn how @Barclays is putting AIM to use: https://t.co/FD1Mb9p6Ol

“When you actually see the scale of a datacenter, you start to think about things very differently. You start to think about, what does it mean to actually make something that works in that environment?”

What kind of storage medium can be boiled, baked, and microwaved without losing its data? Quartz glass—and Deputy Lab Director Ant Rowstron and Azure Chief Technical Officer @markrussinovich are betting on its potential for long-term storage: https://t.co/b29NWq9hPY #MSRPodcast
