Now this is cool. Finally, an advance in the commercial application of optic computing.
<blockquote>Lenslet (http://www.lenslet.com/) is announcing the 'World's First Commercial Optical Processor.'. Reuters has the story here (http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=JWF0QE5YPBHMMCRBAEOCF EY?type=scienceNews&storyID=3711894). The Inquirer has a cool graphic here (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12403) on it. The processor is specified to run at a speed of 8 Tera (8,000 Giga) operations per second, one thousand times faster than any known DSP. When Lenslet releases its Enlight processor in a matter of weeks, a unit using the technology will be 1.7 centimeters high and measure 15 by 15 centimeters.</blockquote>I'm excited. Now I'll be able to run my spreadsheets in true 3D. :P
