## Summary

Sun Zhong of Peking University, together with authors from IBM Zurich Research Laboratory and Silicon Valley company Unconventional AI, published a review in a Nature journal that defines matrix-computing-oriented analog computing based on resistive memory as modern analog computing. The paper categorizes it into three core primitives: solving differential equations, solving matrix equations, and matrix-vector multiplication, and states that an analog matrix computing circuit based on a negative-feedback closed loop takes less than 100 nanoseconds per solve. The authors mention that Anna Zhixin plans to launch a measured demonstration for embodied intelligence motion control and planning within a year.
