| Abstract: A cellular computational platform is disclosed that includes a
multiplicity of functionally identical, repeating computational hardware
units that are interconnected electrically and optically. Each
computational hardware unit includes a reprogrammable local memory and
has interconnections to other such units that have reconfigurable
weights. Each computational hardware unit is configured to transmit
signals into the network for broadcast in a protocol-less manner to other
such units in the network, and to respond to protocol-less broadcast
messages that it receives from the network. Each computational hardware
unit is further configured to reprogram the local memory in response to
incoming electrical and/or optical signals. |
