Overview:
A Collaboration of the University of California, Berkeley and the International Computer Science Institute. The Connectionist Network Supercomputer, or CNS-1, is a multi-year effort to incorporate recent advances in VLSI design and application-specific computer architecture for the realization of a massively parallel machine. Application targets for the CNS-1 include connectionist networks in the areas of speech recognition, language modeling, vision, and hardware simulation for VLSI. This technical report presents the background and motivation for high-level design decisions, along with descriptions of several hardware and software elements. The document represents a "snapshot" of the design, which is expected to be operational in 1995. Keywords: connectionist networks, VLSI, computer architecture, Torrent, Hydrant, application-specific, massively parallel
