- teraflop 10y agoNo, the D-Wave chip has a fixed topology, unlike an FPGA which lets you connect gates more-or-less arbitrarily.
- cperciva 10y agoTraditional FPGAs are basically a fixed grid of cells which you program. You can't program new wires into existence...
- dfox 10y agoThe main interconnect fabric of FPGA typically consists of enough wires and programmable switches that you don't have to care that much that their topology is fixed. In the D-Wave case it looks like the topology of coupling between cells is completely fixed.
