Lyric semiconductor a.k.a. Lyric Labs of Analog Devices is working towards such goals (http://dimple.probprog.org/, http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.2991). I hope that they will get some hardware out at some point. Also, doesn&#x27;t it strike you strange that we are building simulations of stochastic phenomena (MCMC) using deterministically behaving components? What if we used stochastically behaving components as building blocks to begin with? Most electronic components start to behave more…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1212.2991/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>cs.SE
