- S. Fahlman, Geoffrey E. Hinton, T. Sejnowski. 1983. Massively Parallel Architectures for AI: NETL, Thistle, and Boltzmann Machines. Abstract: It is becoming increasingly apparent that some aspects of intelligent behavior require enormous computational power and that some sort of massively parallel computing architecture is the most plausible way to deliver such power. Parallelism, rather than raw speed of the computing elements, seems to be the way that the brain gets such jobs done. But even if die need for massive parallelism is admitted, there is still the question of what kind of parallel architecture best fits the needs of various AI tasks.
