ABSTRACT:
This computer architecture is optimized for computing the state transitions of a controller, whereas conventional computers are optimized for data manipulation. The concurrent processor for control efficiently implements both the continuous and discrete control functions and has a processing element with two parts, the continuous and discrete processing elements. An arbitrary number of processing elements in a linear array have nearest-neighbor communications, and a general purpose microprocessor is provided to interact with them. Continuous states are computed concurrently and there is provision for interaction between continuous and discrete controls.
