  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
DEF

Hauteur maximale théorique de précipitation durant une période déterminée pouvant être recueillie sur un bassin hydrographique particulier à une certaine époque de l'année.

DEF

Processing of symbolic data structures by means of simultaneous execution of hardware operations on multiple processors with small memories. [ISO/IEC 2nd WD 2382-34: 1994 (E/F)].

CONT

Massive parallel processing approaches begin with a critique of ... "von-Newmann style" symbolic processing. They use machines involving many independent processors (perhaps as many as a million) to carry out many processes at one moment in time.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
  • Traitement de l'information (Informatique)
DEF

Traitement de l'information à l'aide de machines parallèles comportant des dizaines de milliers de processeurs.

Record 12 1999-04-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Hardware
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Such "massive parallel processing systems" (MPPS) approaches - begin with a critique of standard computer simulation of vision, which uses "von-Neuman-style" symbolic processing. In their view, it makes more sense to simulate vision by using machines involving many independent processors (perhaps as many as a million) carrying out many processes at one moment in time.

OBS

massively parallel processor; MPP: term and abbreviation standardized by CSA.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel informatique
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

MPP, conçue par Goodyear Aerospace pour les besoins de la NASA et livrée à la fin de 1983, comporte 16 384 processeurs organisés en un tableau de 128 sur 128, effectuant à tout moment la même opération. Les processeurs sont regroupés par huit sur un même circuit intégré.

CONT

En associant plusieurs dizaines de milliers de processeurs de puissance individuelle faible, mais fortement connectés les uns aux autres, on obtient une machine dite hyperparallèle, comme celle d'Accueil.

CONT

On peut donc sérieusement envisager la commercialisation de calculateurs massivement parallèles, comportant des centaines, voire des milliers de processeurs.

OBS

Dans les revues de spécialité on trouve depuis 1984 l'expression «ordinateur ultraparallèle».

OBS

ordinateur massivement parallèle; ordinateur ultraparallèle : termes normalisés par la CSA.
