Abstract

The call for efficient computer architectures has introduced a variety of application-specific compute engines to the heterogeneous computing landscape. One particular engine, the analog mesh computer, has been well received due to its ability to efficiently solve partial differential equations by eliminating the iterative stages common to numerical solvers. This article introduces an implementation of refinement for analog mesh computers.
