A new computational model for massive parallelism

Abstract

A universal parallel computational model using the concept of distributed associative processing (DASP) is presented. The effective realization of this model is due to unique facilities of a multiaccess content-induced transaction overlap communication technique. The operative mechanism of the model uses a plurality of processing nodes with content-addressable transmission buffers. This construction can be incrementally expanded through the hierarchical multiplexing of information pathways. The developed principles simplify hardware/software organization and ensure performance gains for a variety of computational schemes.<>
