Programming Systems for Analog Hardware

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

Analog computing platforms, implemented on a range of electrical and optical substrates, are becoming pervasive and crucial for satisfying the computational needs of different domains. Delivering the potential of such hardware platforms to domain specialists is a challenge as these devices exhibit a host of analog behaviors that must be considered when mapping computation to the target hardware. This talk will discuss how software techniques can be leveraged to map programs to analog computing substrates at high fidelity.
