  • Publication number: 20240111824
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement includes an array of switches that represent a Boolean satisfiability expression that has a plurality of clauses each defined by a combination of Boolean variables Xi or ¬Xi, a first plane, and a constraints network operatively arranged with the first plane. The constraints network enforces each of the clauses such that values of different ones of the variables continue to randomly or pseudo randomly flip until the values of the variables Xi and ¬Xi stop changing or a predetermined condition occurs.
