Abstract
Our research objective is to establish a new massively parallel computation model that supports pattern and symbol processing as well as numerical computation. Programming languages and a runtime system under the multiuser environment are being developed to demonstrate the model. Those will also be distributed to researchers. We are currently designing and developing programming languages, an operating system, and a programming environment on the RWC-1 machine [1]. The following paragraphs summarize our target applications:
-
1.
Real-World Applications and AI Applications Speech recognition, image recognition, robot controls, and other real-world applications will be developed by our colleagues in the RWC project. Those applications will be made possible through flexible processing[2] on massively parallel machines. We are also targeting other massively parallel AI applications, such as learning and self-organization.
-
2.
Large-Scale Simulation Scientific calculation applications such as the simulation of fluid dynamics and molecular dynamics are, of course, major target applications. Microscopic simulations for the sociology such as auto traffic control are also being considered.
