Largest Probabilistic Computer Hits 1 Million P-Bits
Summary
IEEE Spectrum reports on the construction of the largest probabilistic computer to date, a system of 18 FPGAs wired to run 1 million p-bits across multiple chips. The article explains how probabilistic computing can tackle stochastic optimization problems, the data-exchange challenges without global synchronization, and potential future paths using CMOS with stochastic memory and MRAM.
