  • Life Cycle (Informatics)

CONT

The hardware and software are really parts of the same design, and the same mathematical approach needs to apply to both. Some of the current papers describing highly parallel architecture do not have the rigor of the HOS technique.

OBS

See MPP, Massively Parallel Processor and Connection Machine.

CONT

Massively parallel architecture. Some modern supercomputers have thousands of simple processors. Complex mathematical tasks are split up into thousands of tiny sub-tasks, and each sub-task is given to a single processor. For instance, when modelling a weather system or chemical reaction, each processor can simulate the movement of a molecule or group of molecules. When modelling nuclear reactions, each processor can act out the movement of a sub-atomic particle.

Key term(s)

Ce qui importe ce n'est plus désormais le nombre de processeurs, mais bien plus leur organisation et la façon dont ils échangent l'information.

Such "massive parallel processing systems" (MPPS) approaches - begin with a critique of standard computer simulation of vision, which uses "von-Neuman-style" symbolic processing.
