Abstract :
The author presents a new analysis of the maximum entropy model used for calculating the statistical properties of computer systems optimized using the simulated annealing algorithm. Here a canonical ensemble of equivalent systems is introduced, which naturally relates the annealing temperature of the software to the effective temperature of the system being annealed. It is proposed that a modified canonical ensemble may be appropriate for the design of optimized neural network architectures. A power-law ensemble is proposed which will incorporate both wire length optimization and geometrical constraints into a single unified model of computer construction
