367 ising machine simulated bifurcation

ALP implementation of Ising Machine - Simulated Bifurcation

[djelovina]

Relate to #370 (comment)
set with mask is resizing the vector, therefore I use foldl

foldl< descr_dense >( y_comp, mask, ring.template getZero< IOType >(), grb::operators::right_assign<bool,IOType,IOType>() );

@anyzelman is there any better option here?

[djelovina]

I have a general question, operator, monoid and semiring are passed in the argument list, is there any good reason why they are not template arguments? I ask this because I feel that (element-wise) operators like abs(x)<1 could be more simply defined in a more structured template-base approach.. @anyzelman

We had this a long long time ago, but found it was easier to program if we could instantiate these algebraic structures and just pass them around, leaving it to C++ to infer the abstract (algebraic) types. I'm not sure if I get your comment re abs though, could you elaborate (maybe in a separate issue)?

Attached this to milestone 0.9 btw (so blocked by 0.8)
