Wouldn't you also want to be able to manufacture some sort of GPU?

I actually think we should be revisiting PMT photomultipler tube construction, and electron-"optical" matrix multiplication.

The annoying part of optical matrix multiplication is the conversion from electronic to optic and back.

Why not use electron-optics for matrix multiplication and use dynodes for amplification.

  • While an intriguing concept, that doesn't sound like it could scale to the amount of "cores" needed to do the work. Or am I missing something?
