Abstract

A method of configuring circuits for generating random walks on a graph comprising vertices interconnected by edges comprises: determining a number of colors associated with the graph, wherein each edge connected to a respective vertex is associated with a different respective color; arranging probabilistic circuit modules (PCMs), wherein each PCM comprises first and second inputs, first and second outputs, and is associated with an edge; arranging pluralities of input and output nodes; connecting each output of each PCM associated with a first color to an output node; connecting each input of each PCM associated with a second color to an input node; and connecting each output to a PCM input or to an output node such that the PCM outputs associated with a respective color are each connected to different respective PCM inputs associated with a different color or to an output node.
