To combat that, simulated annealing works like annealing a metal. The simulation employs a temperature that cools over time.

In simulated annealing, the temperature value starts out large, such as 1000000.0 and then is reduced slowly on each iteration. Early in the algorithm, when temperature is large, accept_p will be ...

NEC Corporation has announced the launch of the "NEC Vector Annealing Service," a quantum-inspired simulated annealing service that uses a vector - Read more from Inside HPC & AI News.
