STATICA: A novel processor that solves a notoriously complex mathematical problem

Good news! Keep in mind that progress in hardware technology is essential for more advances!

"The proposed processor architecture, called STATICA, is fundamentally different from existing processors that calculate Ising models, called annealers. One limitation of most reported annealers is that they only consider spin interactions between neighboring particles. This allows for faster calculation, but limits their possible applications. In contrast, STATICA is fully connected and all spin-to-spin interactions are considered. While STATICA's processing speed is lower than those of similar annealers, its calculation scheme is better: it uses parallel updating."
