When Nanomagnets Do the Math: France’s New Machine for Impossible Choices
Source: https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/373421-when-nanomagnets-do-the-math-frances-new-machine-for-impossible-choices/ French researchers have demonstrated a hybrid nanoelectronic “Ising machine” designed to solve difficult combinatorial optimization problems more efficiently. The experimental system combines two emerging device technologies—resistive memory and spintronics—to perform parts of an optimization algorithm through the natural physics of its components,
