Abstract
We present a study addressing a hardware implementation of the Boltzmann machine that relies on the concept of asynchronous digital system. The constraint of concurrently switching only unconnected neurons is dynamically satisfied by using an asynchronous distributed control mechanism. The design of the control architecture is derived from a formal definition of the problem by means of the trace theory. Computer simulations show the efficiency of the proposed approach
