Abstract

Recently, the new computing architecture using Ising spin model has been attracting considerable attention. It is well known that the Ising spin model represents the physical properties of ferromagnetic materials in terms of statistical the system energy automatically, by the interaction between connected adjacent spins. In this report, a new computing architecture using Ising spin model was implemented using field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and Ising computing using FPGA was investigated to solve combinatorial optimization problems.
