The FCC simulated annealing took about a month to run on Sunsoft Fortran 95, Solaris 2.5.1 and a pizza box SPARC. For each partial solution. It is pretty amazing what simulated annealing can do.

In the Google paper, they discuss two classical algorithms that do match the asymptotic performance — and one of them beats the real-world performance — of the D-Wave machine. So besides simulated ...

Simulated annealing is a randomized algorithm which has been proposed for finding globally optimum least-cost configurations in large NP-complete problems with cost functions which may have many local ...
