This project is devoted to organizing a strategic visioning workshop on Ising Machines. The meeting will be held virtually over two days. Major themes include overarching issues for Ising Machines as special-purpose computers for non-convex optimization, strategies for maximizing the practical impact of future research on Ising Machines, and assessment of current status and next steps for hardware devices and architectures including both CMOS and non-CMOS (e.g. optical) platforms. Recasting the foundations of computational optimization to leverage emerging physics, mathematics, and management science will require an expansive technology co-design approach that facilitates simultaneous and coordinated rethinking of devices, architectures, algorithms and performance metrics, in order to develop a concrete vision for optimization co-design grounded in recent work on post-von Neumann Ising Machines (PVNIMs). The intention of the workshop is to spark the coalescence of vertically-integrated research communities around existing experimental hardware platforms and build consensus regarding overarching goals for improving both the basic understanding of non-convex optimization and the practical impact of frontier efforts. The workshop will also build a new community around the emerging technology of post-von Neumann Ising machines, and generally promote vertical integration of research on the theory and practice of non-convex optimization. Advances in this area have a high likelihood to impact broad areas of industry and policy. The summary document to be prepared by the Steering Committee after the workshop is intended likewise to influence research priorities across the CISE Directorate, leading to increased opportunities for interdisciplinary research and training in academic groups nationwide.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目致力于组织一个关于伊辛机器的战略愿景研讨会。 会议实际上将举行两天多。 主要主题包括伊辛机作为非凸优化的专用计算机的总体问题，最大限度地提高伊辛机未来研究的实际影响的策略，以及对硬件设备和架构（包括CMOS和非CMOS（例如光学）平台）的当前状态和下一步的评估。重塑计算优化的基础，以利用新兴的物理学，数学和管理科学将需要一种广泛的技术协同设计方法，以促进设备，架构，算法和性能指标的同时和协调的重新思考，以便在最近的工作基础上开发一个具体的优化协同设计愿景后冯诺依曼伊辛机（PVNIMs）。 研讨会的目的是围绕现有的实验硬件平台，激发垂直整合的研究社区的联合，并就提高对非凸优化的基本理解和前沿工作的实际影响的总体目标达成共识。研讨会还将围绕后冯·诺依曼·伊辛机的新兴技术建立一个新的社区，并普遍促进非凸优化理论和实践研究的垂直整合。 这一领域的进展很有可能影响到广泛的行业和政策领域。 指导委员会在研讨会后准备的总结文件也旨在影响CISE理事会的研究优先事项，从而增加全国学术团体的跨学科研究和培训机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
