"Hi HN, I'm the author of the paper. For the last couple of years, I've been working on a new computing architecture to solve the von Neumann bottleneck. The result is Lumineuroptic™, a neuro-optical system that, according to my theoretical analysis, offers orders-of-magnitude improvements in performance and efficiency over current hardware. The paper details the architecture, the physics, and the performance projections (~16.2 PFLOPS/cm², ~1.83 fJ/op). I've also filed patents for the core technology. I've created a more visual summary and a project website here: https://www.lumineuroptic.com This is the work of an independent researcher, so I'm incredibly excited to share it with this community. I'm here to answer any questions you might have. Thanks for reading!"

Thanks for the interest! I'd be happy to. At its core, Lumineuroptic™ is a new computing architecture designed to solve the fundamental bottlenecks that limit current AI hardware like GPUs. Instead of improving the old system, I went back to first principles. The core innovation is a "Neuro-Optical Sandwich" (NOS), a 1 cm² module that does three things fundamentally differently: It computes with light, not just electrons. We use a dense array of 10 million micro-LEDs for massively parallel processing at 1.5 GHz. It eliminates the memory wall. It features an in-memory computing layer (the Lumionic Memory Array or LMA) where memory access and computation are a single, ultra-fast operation (~0.69 ns). This avoids the ~10 ns latency penalty of accessing external HBM memory. It scales with massive bandwidth. Modules are stacked in 3D and communicate via optical TSVs at >15 Tbps, creating a dense compute fabric. The result, based on theoretical analysis, is a module that is ~21x faster (in terms of effective PFLOPS) and ~260x more energy-efficient than a state-of-the-art H100 GPU. The full paper is on Zenodo, but I've created a more visual one-page summary on the project website: [Enlace a tu micrositio lumineuroptic.com] Happy to answer any more specific questions!
