The effort compared performance of a classical-only approach against D-Wave’s Stride™ hybrid solver running on the Advantage2TM system, benchmarking solution quality, scalability, and time-to-solution. Results demonstrated that while classical solvers performed effectively on smaller, less complex scenarios, the time to reach a solution increased significantly as problem size grew. By compar...
