Abstract
This paper describes an initial evaluation of an associative parallel processor, IXM2, for semantic network (SN) applications. IXM2 consists of 64 associative PEs and 9 network PEs, having in total 256 Kwords by 40 bits of associative memory (AM). IXM2 employs a new interconnection mechanism based on complete connection. AM is very effective in suppressing the computational explosion in large SN processing, Arithmetic and logical operations also can be done in parallel on all the words of AM, achieving 7200 MOPS for the less than operation. IXM2 executes programs written in the IXL language, a superset of Prolog. IXM2 can work as a back-end to AI workstations.
