An overview of the DADO parallel computer by MARK D . LERNER
نویسنده
چکیده
DADO is a special purpose parallel computer designed for the rapid execution of artificial intelligence expert systems. This article discusses the DADO hardware and software systems, with emphasis on the question of granularity. DADO is designed as a fine-grain machine constructed from many thousands of processing elements (PEs) interconnected in a complete binary tree. Two prototype systems, DAD01 and DAD02, are detailed. Each PE of these prototypes consists of a commercially available microprocessor chip, memory chips, and an additional semicustom I/O processor designed at Columbia University. The software includes a kernel and parallel languages. Under development are several artificial intelligence systems, including a production system interpreter, a logic programming language, and an expert system building tool.

متن کاملAn Intelligent Computer Interface Utilizing Parallel Picocontrollers (TECHNICAL NOTE)
The design of an interface unit is described, in which RS232 serial data is converted to latched parallel data on 22 independent lines. The data direction of each line is programmable through the serial port. Two picocontrollers are employed in a parallel processing mode to give the required number of I/O pins, and data on the shared serial line is coded to separate data streams to the individu...
