Popis:	New computing paradigms are required to solve the most challenging computational problems where no exact polynomial time solution exists.Probabilistic Ising Accelerators has gained promise on these problems with the ability to model complex probability distributions and find ground states of intractable problems. In this context, we have demonstrated the Parallel Asynchronous Stochastic Sampler (PASS), the first fully on-chip integrated, asynchronous, probabilistic accelerator that takes advantage of the intrinsic fine-grained parallelism of the Ising Model and built in state of the art 14nm CMOS FinFET technology. We have demonstrated broad applicability of this accelerator on problems ranging from Combinatorial Optimization, Neural Simulation, to Machine Learning along with up to $23,000$x energy to solution improvement compared to CPUs on probabilistic problems.
