    The original paper by Çamsarı and his team, also linked from the OP article [1].<p>[1] Programmable Probabilistic Computer with 1,000,000 p-bits:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2606.25313" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2606.25313</a>

    There&#x27;s also digital probabilistic computing, with a processor working on AWS, and for the right workload ,claimed to be offering a very significant speed boost:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eetimes.com&#x2F;probabilistic-computing-is-already-here-here-is-how-it-works&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eetimes.com&#x2F;probabilistic-computing-is-already-h...</a><p>Towards the end of the article.

      Also, there is a tiny version in microSD format:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mouser.ie&#x2F;en&#x2F;ProductDetail&#x2F;Signaloid&#x2F;S-C0-00-1D?qs=%252BXxaIXUDbq3jJlvWitexiQ%3D%3D" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mouser.ie&#x2F;en&#x2F;ProductDetail&#x2F;Signaloid&#x2F;S-C0-00-1D?...</a>

    &gt; In contrast, p-bits flip between 0 or 1 with a tunable probability.<p>Isn&#x27;t this basically an ADC (except the tunable probability isn&#x27;t an input voltage)? Is this kinda-sorta a new form of analog computing?

    It&#x27;s not mentioned in the article, but this hardware architecture may be better suited for brute-forcing password&#x2F;crypto&#x2F;key cracking than traditional computing architectures.

      Is there a paper on that? I’m not I see how.

      Computational Sociodynamics will be a very promising tool.

    I absolutely love the photo of the computer at the top of the article. Not at all what I thought I was going to see from this headline.

    curious, where the guys who are working on mathematical models run their simulations these days.

    I&#x27;m ignorant. What problems is this good at solving?
