Special purpose neurocomputer system for solving optimization problems

摘要: A network of N parallel processors are each one cross-connected to other. Each cross connection includes a nodal weight delay circuit which carries status information as whether processor is "on" (=1) or "off" (=0) and its weighted influence (wij) excitatory inhibitory between the two i j on that connection. Additionally, time delayed with selectively fixed set machine cycles any j. monitoring processor-controller senses when majority have achieved stable non-changing state will represent an optimum solution for combinatorial problem.
