The phrase "analogue computer" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a type of computer that processes data in a continuous form, as opposed to digital computers which use discrete values.
Example: "In the early days of computing, analogue computers were widely used for simulations and complex calculations."
Alternatives: "analog computer" or "continuous computer".
The large responses are investigated by using both a digital and an analogue computer.
The large amplitude responses are investigated by using both a digital and an analogue computer.
Because of such features, the planispheric astrolabe can be regarded as a kind of rudimentary analogue computer.
The perturbation results are verified by integrating the governing equation using a digital computer and an analogue computer.
The perturbation results are verified by integrating the governing equation with use of a digital computer and an analogue computer.
An analogue computer simulates heat flow in a cen tral heating system and the escape of that heat through walls and roofs of various types.
This paper looks at analogue computers and their role in the development of control engineering.
Analogue computers lost out to digital ones because the lack of ambiguity a digital system brings makes errors less likely.
Vacuum tube analogue computers were used extensively from the mid 40's to the mid 60's and the paper describes their general features and those of some specific machines.
That generally gives analogue machines an advantage in terms of size, efficiency and raw computing power.The reason that people have come to prefer digital computers is that it is difficult to harness that power for the two things that analogue computers do not have are flexibility and simplicity.
But Dr Meier thinks that because they operate in a way closer to some features of a real nervous system, analogue computers are a better way of modelling such features.Dr Furber and his team have been working on SpiNNaker since 2006.
