NTT Research’s CIM (Coherent Ising Machine) then simulated the technology. The comparison was based on the measurement of computational efficiency, accuracy and scalability indicators. The same dataset was used as a reference for the concept proof and the comparison. Specifically, the bacteriophage phiX174 genome’s sequencing was synthetically generated, allowing the simulation of different test scenarios and comparison of the reference indicators.
