This three-year, $599,995 National Science Foundation project grant will support research at the University of Rochester to increase the robustness, efficacy, and capabilities of CMOS-compatible electronic Ising machines for solving optimization problems. The Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to advance computing and information sciences, and this award furthers those goals by addressing challenges to developing a physical computing system that can robustly accelerate real-world optimization problems. Specifically, the University of Rochester team will build hardware prototypes to understand non-idealities and develop countermeasures for robust operation. They will also work to address capacity limits and semantic gaps that hinder Ising machines, with the potential to transform these devices from niche solutions into mainstream platforms for critical applications like machine learning. The grant period begins February 1, 2023 and concludes January 31, 2026.
