Los robots paralelos están constituidos generalmente por un soporte fijo o placa base sobre el cual se montan unos actuadores que, a través de unos brazos articulados o cadenas cinemáticas, se unen a una plataforma móvil a la cual se encuentra amarrada la herramienta correspondiente. [...] Los robots paralelos con cuatro grados de libertad son muy adecuados para realizar tareas de manipulación de piezas, empaquetado y ensamblaje, y gozan de ventajas frente a robots paralelos más complejos, por ejemplo con 6 grados de libertad, en lo que se refiere a simplicidad, precio y rapidez de movimientos. 1, record 1, Spanish, - robot%20paralelo

Le concept d'architecture systolique. Le nom vient de l'analogie entre le fonctionnement de ce type de machine et celui du cœur : la systole désigne le stade de la contraction du cœur. Une machine systolique est une sorte de réseau de processeurs au travers duquel circulent des données. Celles-ci sont injectées dans le réseau par un calculateur appelé «hôte». Les processeurs du réseau fonctionnent de façon synchrone, par battements : au cours d'un battement, chaque processeur reçoit des données, qu'il traite et transmet à ses plus proches voisins (principe appliqué au traitement de la parole). 4, record 2, French, - architecture%20SIMD%20synchrone
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
L'architecture systolique est au total le résultat d'un mariage heureux entre l'organisation SIMD dont elle conserve la régularité et le caractère synchrone, et l'architecture pipeline. Son principal intérêt est de permettre le traitement «au vol» des données, ce que ne fait pas de manière naturelle une architecture SIMD. 4, record 2, French, - architecture%20SIMD%20synchrone

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. 3, record 3, English, - highly%20parallel%20architecture

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 4, English, - massively%20parallel%20processor
