Programmable Probabilistic Computer with 1,000,000 p-bits
Summary
A summary of the arXiv paper detailing a programmable probabilistic computer built from 1,000,000 p-bits by networking FPGAs. The work demonstrates Gibbs sampling at unprecedented throughput, analyzes boundary-information refresh frequencies, and provides a design rule for scaling probabilistic computation beyond a single chip, with demonstrations on spin glasses, Max-Cut, and Boolean SAT.
