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.  6, record 3, English, - massively%20parallel%20processor

A computer that can calculate more that a trillion mathematical operations per second. Based on massively parallel processing, it will team hundreds or thousands of independent processors-silicon chips that perform calculations-to solve problems too imposing for even the most powerful computers today. It will help in areas like... simulating the body's reaction to a new drug; mapping human genetic structure to better understand inherited diseases : generating models of world's climates, recognizing spoken languages and images in order to improve the versatility of factory robots.  1, record 5, English, - teraflop%20supercomputer
