Toshiba: Computer Computing Power

The company announced that it has developed a technology that significantly improves traditional computer computing power by performing multiple computations in parallel simultaneously.

“Combination optimization problem”: Calculation result

Using the laser computer developed by NTT, it has been calculated at a speed 10 times faster than ever before, achieving the world’s fastest.

This calculation:

Design of molecules in new drug development

Calculation of efficient delivery route selection etc

It is expected to be used in various fields.
