What is a Synchronous Concurrent Algorithm (SCA)?


assistant
A Synchronous Concurrent Algorithm is an algorithm consisting of a networks of modules and channels, computing and communicating in parallel, and synchronised by a global clock. There are many classes of algorithms that share these general properties such as clocked digital hardware, systolic arrays, neural networks, cellular automata and coupled map lattice dynamical systems.
