Abstract

A parallel distributed processor comprises matrices of unit cells arranged in a stacked configuration. Each unit cell includes a chalcogenide body which may be set and reset to a plurality of values of a given physical property. Interconnections between the unit cells are established via the chalcogenide materials and the pattern and strength of the interconnections is determined by the set values of the chalcogenide. The processor is readily adapted to the construction of neural network computing systems.
