Analog computers perceive a revival as a feasible technology platform for low precision, energy efficient and fast computing. We quantify this statement by measuring the performance of a modern analog computer and comparing it with traditional digital processors. General statements are made about ordinary and partial differential equations. As an example for large scale scientific computing applications, computational fluid dynamics are discussed. Several models are proposed which demonstrate the benefits of analog and digital-analog hybrid computing.

关于在当今最大的计算挑战中使用模拟计算机

模拟计算机将复兴视为低精度，节能和快速计算的可行技术平台。我们通过测量现代模拟计算机的性能并将其与传统数字处理器进行比较来量化此陈述。一般说明是关于常微分方程和偏微分方程。作为大规模科学计算应用程序的示例，讨论了计算流体动力学。提出了几种模型，这些模型证明了模拟和数模混合计算的好处。
