HYBRID TRANSPUTER FOR OPTOELECTRONIC NEURAL PROCESSOR Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has two random-access memory units, which have unit for display of information stored in them, optoelectronic neural unit of neural network structure. Optoelectronic memory unit for storage of information about processed array with distributed information, and four controlled optical units for generation of flow of parallel optical signals and for visual indication of frames of processed arrays of distributed information . Optoelectronic and controlled optical units of transputer are optically connected in parallel. Polychrome optical signals are used for information transmission between units, This results in possibility to process distributed data flow by optical methods. Device provides possibility to be used as transputer unit in optoelectronic neural processors, which are used in neural computers for processing distributed data arrays with images. EFFECT: visual indication of computations, increased functional capabilities, increased speed. 5 dwg
