Abstract:
Boltzmann machine includes a plurality of circuit units each having an adder that adds weighted input signals and a comparison unit that compares an output signal of the adder with a threshold signal to output a binary output signal; and digital arithmetic units each generating the weighted input signals by weighting the binary output signal of the circuit units with a weight. The comparison unit has a first comparator that compares a thermal noise with a reference voltage to output a binary digital random signal, a DA converter that converts the digital random signal to an analog random signal and varies a magnitude of the analog random signal, and a second comparator that compares the output signal of the adder with the analog random signal to generate the binary output signal with a predetermined probability function.
