- Abstract
-
- We present a faithful hardware implementation of the Boltzmann machine. The
- prototype performs 505 megasynapses (million of additions and multiplications)
- per second, using 16-bit fixed-point weights. It can emulate fully connected
- instances of the Boltzmann machine containing up to 1438 variables.
