Mapping of neural networks on the honeycomb architecture

Article Abstract:

The mapping of a neural network to the Honeycomb architecture can be effected by the combined mapping of multiple transversal filters and comparators. The Honeycomb architecture is a way of modeling advanced sea-of-gates (SOG) very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuitry to implement neural networks in forthcoming generations of supercomputers. The architecture consists of a great number of uniform VLSI cells that are individually assigned one of several basic functions at system initialization or reconfiguration times. Control is implemented at a separate VLSI level. Advantages include ease of mapping, high fault-tolerance and speed through high parallelism. A variety of transversal filter and comparator designs can be mapped, with choice of each largely dependent upon the application. Current and future work in neural network mapping are briefly discussed.

The architecture of UNIX United

Article Abstract:

A UNIX United system has architecture for a distributed system consisting of several component UNIX systems connected by at least one communications medium. Since the function of the system as a whole is equal to that of its components, any program written for an ordinary UNIX system can be transparently used to exploit the UNIX United environment. All existing UNIX software investments may be retained in UNIX United without major modifications. The system represents an example of a very powerful distributed system developed with a modest effort. UNIX United was made a loosely coupled collection of components to: use fast and slow communications media; allow component administrators to retain autonomy in the distributed system; and allow it to encompass an arbitrary number of components.
