> An analog computer is limited by its intrinsic accuracy with a typical error delta-f_analog ∼ 10E−(4±1) (averaging over the Analog Paradigm Model-1 and future analog computers on chip). Yes, solving FDEs is useful, but how often are you happy with results equivalent to 12-bit fixed-point integers? And with problems which needs minutes of human attention to change? Most analog computers, including Analog Paradigm Model 1, are programmed by humans dialing in the dozens of potentiometer dials and plugging in jumper wire. And sure, one could replace every potentiomenter with multiplier driven by DAC, but this will dramatically change every figure mentioned in the paper -- power consumption will go up, speed will go down, accuracy might get even lower... The case for analog computer will be even weaker than it is now.
