Laser Computing for the Post-Silicon Era: Cracking NP-Hard Problems at the Speed of Light
DescriptionDespite significant advancements in high-performance computing, certain NP-hard problems remain computationally infeasible, even for the most advanced supercomputers. While heuristics and approximation algorithms offer faster, often near-optimal solutions, many applications demand improved accuracy or real-time processing capabilities.

LightSolver introduces a novel quantum-inspired computing paradigm designed to address the scalability and performance limitations of NP-hard problems. Its Laser Processing Unit™ (LPU) employs lasers for parallel processing at the speed of light, rivaling the performance and scalability of current supercomputers.

In this talk, we will showcase the integration of LightSolver with Ansys’ LS-DYNA multi-physics simulation software to optimize reordering for sparse matrix factorization, significantly improving the efficiency and scalability of implicit mechanical simulations.

We will also discuss its application in feature selection for machine learning, where our platform was benchmarked against classical approximation methods. LightSolver demonstrated superior accuracy, even with small data sets, thereby enhancing predictive performance.
