In all three papers, they use a simulation of their LPU (that runs on CPU or GPU), and compare to some classical heuristics on an AWS instance. I read [1] and the results are... preliminary at best. They compare their simulation to a single deep-learning-based heuristic called RUN-CSP on tiny MAX-2-SAT instances (&lt;350…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2207.09517/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
