New algorithm makes regular computers faster than supercomputers

Researchers at Toshiba have developed an algorithm that allows computers to become ten times faster even

quantum analogues.

The idea came about when researchers studied howsome parts of complex systems can suddenly change steady-state operation after new input data. It took scientists several years to understand that this principle can be used to create an algorithm that can process a huge number of possible ways to solve the problem. So quantum computers could work. However, the new algorithm can run even on desktop computers.

As a result, the developers learned to apply the algorithmnot only on single computers, but also on clusters of servers and FPGAs. If the latter group is used, the algorithm will be able to speed up calculations by ten times, which will be faster than on quantum computers.

True, experts believe that applying this technology will only be possible in decades.
