LightSolver to Unveil the First Public Demonstration of Its All-Optical Computer at SC26: On Show in Chicago from November 16 to 19, Solving Linear and Differential Equations Live
Rehovot, Israel — CollPlant Biotechnologies announced via GlobeNewswire on November 11, 2026 that its subsidiary LightSolver will unveil the capabilities of its Laser Processing Unit, the LPU, in a first public demonstration at SC26, the International Conference for High Performance Computing, taking place November 15 to 20, 2026 in Chicago, Illinois. The demonstration will be presented at booth 5102 during the exhibition, November 16 to 19.
The LPU is a photonic computer designed to process and solve mathematical problems using light itself, through interacting laser beams, rather than conventional electronic computation. In this first public demonstration of an all-optical computer, LightSolver will showcase live how the LPU solves real mathematical and computational problems, including systems of linear equations, differential equations and complex optimization problems, using only interacting light.
The company said the LPU is designed to operate alongside conventional GPUs, with the potential to significantly accelerate certain computationally intensive workloads while offering the potential for reductions in energy consumption. The capabilities build on previously published, peer-reviewed research conducted in collaboration with the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, as well as ongoing paid collaboration programs with industrial partners including Boeing.
LightSolver will present its work with Boeing on PDE-based corrosion simulation at the SC26 Exhibitor Forum, setting out the engineering problem and comparative benchmark results against existing solvers. The work is part of a paid, multi-year development program with Boeing announced in April 2026. Dr. Talya Vaknin, Head of Research at LightSolver, will also take part in a Birds of a Feather session on analog computing. Dr. Ruti Ben Shlomi, Co-Founder and CEO of LightSolver, was quoted in the release. Subject to shareholder approval, CollPlant intends to change its name to OptiPhi Computing Ltd. and, subject to Nasdaq confirmation, its ticker from CLGN to OPHI. All details follow the text of the CollPlant release dated November 11, 2026.
