Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a set of analog content addressable memory (aCAM) modules to represent an expression in a conjunctive normal form (CNF), wherein a respective aCAM module corresponds to a clause of the expression;
a set of data lines to provide input candidate values to the set of aCAM modules;
a controller to program the set of aCAM modules with respective analog values to represent the expression;
a sensing logic block to determine a distance of a current solution from a target solution based on a combination of respective outputs from the set of aCAM modules; and
wherein the controller is further to iteratively modify an input value for a subset of data lines until the current solution converges based on a convergence condition.
