I haven't asked about pricing and availability, but Mythic has evaluation systems.
https://www.mythic-ai.com/product/evaluation-system/ There are not commercially available devices from IBM yet. I'm not at liberty to give further details. I like this approach because it is obvious how to use it vs. the new spiking neural net stuff from Intel (and also from IBM) is more speculative w.r.t. applications. Quantum computers are all analog machines in practice. -----Original Message----- From: Friam <friam-boun...@redfish.com> On Behalf Of u?l? ?>$ Sent: Friday, October 1, 2021 10:12 AM To: friam@redfish.com Subject: Re: [FRIAM] A pretty cellular automata video Maybe I'm just incompetent today. But what PCM devices did they use? Internal IBM research devices? Or did they only use the simulator (https://github.com/IBM/aihwkit)? Are there commercial PCM chips yet?
