Analog Computing Revives Interest For Energy Efficiency

Prof. Dr. Bernd Ulmann publishes a 620-page book on analog and hybrid computing with De Gruyter in February 2026, tracing systems from the Antikythera mechanism to modern reconfigurable designs. The book argues these technologies can deliver high-speed, energy-efficient solutions for high-performance, edge, medical, and AI workloads. It serves as an introductory-to-intermediate history and platform survey for practitioners and general readers.
