Abstract:
A parallel processing system for computing output values from input values received during a time trial, comprising:a plurality of processing units, each of said processing units operative to receive, during a time trial and in parallel, individual input values from an input vector, said processing units comprising analogs components for computing arithmetic operations of said system;a plurality of interconnected conductors, operative to connect each of said processing units to every other processing unit of said system and operative to transfer weighted values among said processors;a plurality of switching junctions located along said interconnected conductors, said switching junctions being operable for uniquely pairing each of said processors to every other processor of said system; andeach of said processing units operative to provide, during said time trial, an expected output value based on said weighted values and each of said processing units operative to update, during said time trial, said weighted values based on said input values.
