Abstract(in English) Recently, the new computing architecture using Ising spin model has been attracting considerable attention. It is well known that Ising spin model represents the physical properties of ferromagnetic materials in terms of statistical mechanics. In this model, the spin states are varied in order to minimize the system energy automatically, by the interaction between connected adjacent spins. The new computing maps combinatorial optimization problems on Ising model to express the behavior of magnetic spins and solves these problems by ground state search operations exploiting its convergence property. In this report, the new computing architecture using Ising spin model was implemented using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), and the Ising computing based on FPGA was investigated to solve combinatorial optimization problems.
