Abstract

A large scale parallel architecture in which many parallel channels numbering 10.sup.2 or more operate simultaneously to create a natural and efficient organization for processing two-dimensional arrays of data. The architecture comprises a plurality of stack integrated circuit wafers having top and bottom surfaces, electric signal paths extending through each of the wafers between the surfaces, and micro-interconnects (smaller than 50 mil) on the surfaces of adjacent wafers interconnecting the respective eletric signal paths with a topographical one-to-one correspondence.
