DACPU - Digital Annealer Cpu

From the Fujitsu website: Fujitsu's Digital Annealer provides an alternative to quantum computing technology, which is at present both very expensive and difficult to run. Using a digital circuit design inspired by quantum phenomena, the Digital Annealer focuses on rapidly solving complex combinatorial optimization problems without the added complications and costs typically associated with quantum computing methods.

DAV3 - Digital Annealer V3

From the Fujitsu website: Fujitsu's Digital Annealer provides an alternative to quantum computing technology, which is at present both very expensive and difficult to run. Using a digital circuit design inspired by quantum phenomena, the Digital Annealer focuses on rapidly solving complex combinatorial optimization problems without the added complications and costs typically associated with quantum computing methods.

Provider: fujitsu

Solution Example:

Parameters:

Maximum running time of DA in seconds. Specifies the upper limit of running time of DA. Min: 1, Max: 1_800

Default: None

target_energy : int

Threshold energy for fast exit. This may not work correctly if the specified value is larger than its max value or lower than its min value. Min: -99_999_999_999, Max: 99_999_999_999

Default: None

num_group : int

Number of independent optimization processes. Increasing the number of independent optimization processes leads to better coverage of the search space. Note: Increasing this number requires to also increase `time_limit_sec` such that the search time for each process is sufficient. Min: 1, Max: 16

Default: 1

num_solution : int

Number of solutions maintained and updated by each optimization process. Min: 1, Max: 16

Default: 16

num_output_solution : int

gs_num_iteration_factor : int

Maximal number of iterations in one epoch of the global search in each optimization is `gs_num_iteration_factor` * number of bits. Min: 0, Max: 100

Default: 5

gs_num_iteration_cl : int

Maximal number of iterations without improvement in one epoch of the global search in each optimization before terminating and continuing with the next epoch. For problems with very deep local minima having a very low value is helpful. Min: 0, Max: 1_000_000

Default: 800

gs_penalty_auto_mode : int

Parameter to choose whether to automatically incrementally adapt `gs_penalty_coef` to the optimal value. 0: Use `gs_penalty_coef` as the fixed factor to weight the penalty polynomial during optimization. 1: Start with `gs_penalty_coef` as weight factor for penalty polynomial and automatically and incrementally increase this factor during optimization by multiplying `gs_penalty_inc_rate` / 100 repeatedly until `gs_max_penalty_coef` is reached or the penalty energy is zero.

Default: 1

gs_penalty_coef : int

Factor to weight the penalty polynomial. If `gs_penalty_auto_mode` is 0, this value does not change. If `gs_penalty_auto_mode` is 1, this initial weight factor is repeatedly increased by `gs_penalty_inc_rate` until `gs_max_penalty_coef` is reached or the penalty energy is zero. Min: 1, Max: 2**63 - 1

Default: 1

gs_penalty_inc_rate : int

Only used if `gs_penalty_auto_mode` is 1. In this case, the initial weight factor `gs_penalty_coef` for the penalty polynomial is repeatedly increased by multiplying `gs_penalty_inc_rate` / 100 until `gs_max_penalty_coef` is reached or the penalty energy is zero. Min: 100, Max: 200

Default: 150

gs_max_penalty_coef : int

Maximal value for the penalty coefficient. If `gs_penalty_auto_mode` is 0, this is the maximal value for `gs_penalty_coef`. If `gs_penalty_auto_mode` is 1, this is the maximal value to which `gs_penalty_coef` can be increased during the automatic adjustment. If `gs_max_penalty_coef` is set to 0, then the maximal penalty coefficient is 2^63 - 1. Min: 0, Max: 2**63 - 1
