  • In this paper, we evaluate stochastic-computing simulated annealing (SC-SA) for solving large-scale combinatorial optimization problems. SC-SA is designed using stochastic computing, where the computatoin is reazlied using random bitstream, resulting in fast converging to the global minimum energy of the problems. The proposed SC-SA is compared with a typical SA and existing simulated-annealing (SA) processors on the maximum cut (MAX-CUT) problems, such as Gset that is a benchmark for SA. The simulation results show that SC-SA realizes a few orders of magnitude faster than a typical SA. In addition, SC-SA achieves better MAX-CUT scores than other existing methods on K2000 that is a complete 2000-node optimization problem.
