Inspired by the developments in quantum computing, building domain-specific classical hardware to solve computationally hard problems has received increasing attention. Here, introducing systematic sparsification techniques, we demonstrate a massively parallel architecture: sparse Ising Machine (sIM). Exploiting sparsity, sIM achieves ideal parallelism: its key figure of merit - flips per secon...

Several applications require to estimate the power production of photovoltaic (PV) systems under partial shading conditions. For example, dynamic reconfiguration array connections is needed maximize conditions, which requires estimating generated by PV in several possible configurations. Therefore, a fast and accurate modeling technique perform those calculations practical times with low estima...
