Neuroprocessor LOCON 9B51: an overview

The authors explain the architecture, modes, and applications of a parallel processor based on a neural net structure. This processor is designed as a coprocessor for the IBM PC/XT. LOCON 9B51 is intended to accelerate sorting, large-scale data analysis, solution of equations of mathematical physics, computational geometry, text processing, discrete optimization, computer-aided design, and complex system simulations. The implementation of some parallel algorithms for NP-complete problems on this coprocessor is shown.<>
