Summary
As organizations across industries are looking to process workloads of ever-increasing size and complexity, classical computers are reaching their scalability limits. With quantum computers not being feasible yet, the quest for a post-silicon paradigm that could deliver the computing power and energy efficiency required to process these mega workloads has been keeping research teams worldwide busy.
An all-optical technology, known as the Laser Processing Unit (LPU), harnesses the power of coupled lasers to compute complex and large problems faster and more efficiently than the most advanced classical HPC systems available today. Based on free-space optics in a small cavity, this processor is as small as a traditional desktop computer while offering unrivaled scalability, low power requirements, and room temperature operation.
Join Chene Tradonsky, CTO and co-founder of Tel Aviv-based startup LightSolver, as he delves into this new computing paradigm. In this webinar, Chene will provide an in-depth explanation of how LPUs work, showcase benchmarks against classical HPC technologies, and demonstrate how this approach can help organizations tackle compute-intensive problems.
Speaker
CTO and Co-Founder
Chene Tradonsky, PhD, is a physicist and the CTO and co-founder of LightSolver. Chene founded LightSolver with Dr. Ruti Ben Shlomi in 2020 after inventing the first pure laser-based processing unit (LPU™), a new paradigm for computing that uses all-optical coupled lasers to provide solutions to NP-hard problems and other compute-intensive applications. Chene leads technology and science for the company and utilizes his experience in physics, laser optics and electronics to help develop LightSolver’s proprietary technology.
Prior to LightSolver, Chene was an application scientist at Nanonics Imaging, where he built and installed custom atomic force microscope systems worldwide. He also served as a research and teaching assistant at the Israel Institute of Technology.
In 2018, Chene earned a PhD in physics from the world-renowned Weizmann Institute of Science, specializing in optics and coupled laser networks, after completing an MSc in physics in 2010 from the Israel Institute of Technology. Prior to pursuing higher education, Chene received a BSc in practical electronics engineering from the Air Force Technical School in Haifa in 2001, and a second BSc in electrical and electronics engineering and applied physics from Ariel University in 2007, after serving in the Israeli Air Force.
