Computational scientist and mathematician Avi Wigderson of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton has won the 2023 A.M. Turing Award. The prize, which is given annually by the Association ...

Alan Turing’s work continues to shape modern discussions around artificial intelligence, even decades after his groundbreaking theories reshaped computing. The quote often associated with him — “A ...

A US physicist and a Canadian computer scientist have won this year's Turing Award for their invention of a form of seemingly unbreakable encryption. Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard's work, ...

Do computers think? Some experts say yes, some say no. —Time magazine, Jan. 23, 1950 How do we tell whether a machine thinks? Much of today’s discussion of the matter starts with British computer ...

The Turing Pi 2 is a small computer made up of… other computers. It allows you to create a cluster of up to four different single-board computers to create your own compact, fanless, low-power server ...

In 1939, after the outbreak of World War II, the Allied forces facing Germany had a problem. While it was easy to intercept German wireless communications, their content was difficult to decipher as ...

Mini PC enthusiasts who enjoy building projects using Raspberry Pi, Nvidia Jetson and Turing RK1 compute modules may be interested in a new piece of hardware launched via Kickstarter this week which ...

Avi Wigderson helped prove that randomness is not required for efficient computation. Hmm.. I know that some of the 'best' quantum algorithm are also probabilistic. (Such as Shor's algorithm.) I ...
