In a victory for human intellect, developer Przemysław Dębiak has defeated an AI in a gruelling coding battle.

NEC Corporation has announced the launch of the “NEC Vector Annealing Service,” a quantum-inspired simulated annealing service that uses a vector supercomputer, as well as the launch of educational ...

The FCC simulated annealing took about a month to run on Sunsoft Fortran 95, Solaris 2.5.1 and a pizza box SPARC. For each partial solution. It is pretty amazing what simulated annealing can do.

Simulated annealing is a randomized algorithm which has been proposed for finding globally optimum least-cost configurations in large NP-complete problems with cost functions which may have many local ...

Simulated quantum annealing, using a quantum Monte Carlo algorithm, has been observed to be more efficient than thermal annealing for certain spin glass models 8, although the opposite has been ...
