A new computing architecture, an annealing machine, which is specialized to solve combinatorial optimization problems, is proposed. The annealing machine maps optimization problems to an Ising model and solves the optimization problems by its own convergence property. We proposed a CMOS annealing machine, a CMOS implementation of the annealing machine, which is a type of an in-memory computing. We constructed prototypes of the CMOS annealing machine and confirmed its operation to solve optimization problems. In this talk, the overview of the CMOS annealing machine and related software and application technologies are presented.
