Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology have designed a novel processor architecture that can solve combinatorial optimization problems much faster than existing ones. Combinatorial optimization ...

Over the course of my 25-year career in the mathematical optimization software industry, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been asked this question: “Can you tell me what mathematical ...

One-hundred-million gates. One-billion transistors. Once the province of speculation and dreaming, chip designs of enormous complexity are now in the planning stages and, in a few cases, in the design ...
