- I made a mistake in my posting concerning the Boltzmann machine implementation
- (the line "Subject: send SKU3.ps" was wrong). If you sent a request and you did
- not get a reply, please send a new request, according to the following
- corrected annoncement. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

- The subject line says it all. For details, get a copy of the article "An Exact
- Hardware Implementation of the Boltzmann Machine". The article appeared in the
- Fourth IEEE Symposium on Parallel Distributed Processing. To get a postscript

- 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.
