The SOLOMON computer

Key Points

To introduce the SOLOMON computer, a system designed for solving problems through a novel network of processing elements.
Presented a parallel network computer system called SOLOMON.
Utilized interconnections and programming overseen by a central control unit.
Arranged identical processing elements based on problem requirements.
SOLOMON can adapt the number of processing elements to specific problem needs.
Shows potential for efficient problem-solving through simulation of the task at hand.

Abstract

The SOLOMON (Simultaneous Operation Linked Ordinal Modular Network), a parallel network computer, is a new system involving the interconnections and programming, under the supervision of a central control unit, of many identical processing elements (as few or as many as a given problem requires), in an arrangement that can simulate directly the problem being solved.
