Abstract
A monolithic integrated circuit is provided in which signals from concurrently operating information sources are each provided to a corresponding signal processing cell in an array thereof. These cells can each communicate directly with surrounding nearest neighbor cells both to and from. Each such signal processing cell is capable of being directed in parallel to perform selected signal processing operations including operations involving data from many cells. Communications between cells can be effected using charge coupled devices, and the signal processing operations in a cell can be performed by a floating gate regenerator.
