Inheritance networks are represented on a PMPM by assigning a separate hardware element to each node and each link. These elements have a tiny bit of local memory used to represent markers, and some connections to other elements through which the markers propagate. 1, record 2, English, - parallel%20marker%20propagation%20machine
