Researchers have developed a novel hardware architecture for reinforcement learning that utilizes asynchronous Boolean networks on a clockless, reconfigurable chip. This design generates parallel streams of chaotic Boolean transitions, enabling statistically independent entropy sources crucial for scalability. The system successfully demonstrated parallel decision-making on a 1024-armed bandit problem, surpassing previous hardware limitations and showing improved power-law scaling. Furthermore, the architecture was scaled to 5120 parallel channels, achieving an aggregate sample generation rate of 2.14 TS/s, paving the way for high-throughput decision-making accelerators. AI
