Dr McGeoch and Cong Wang, a graduate student from Simon Fraser university, gave D-Wave's machine three notoriously tricky mathematical tasks, and then gave the same jobs to conventional algorithms running on standard computer hardware.

McGeoch博士和一名来自西蒙弗雷泽大学的研究生同时给D-Wave的机器和一般电脑硬件配置的传统演算法出了三道极其棘手的数学题。
