<p>PURPOSE:To reduce the load of a network by providing element processors constituting a parallel inference machine with buffers and displaying the variable of another element processor accessed in the previously bound and unbond variables to execute buffering. CONSTITUTION:The numbers of element processors PE to be key parts and the addresses of the processors PE in a main storage device (MS) 2 are written in a buffer device (BF) 4. On the other hand, the value of a variable (bound) or undefinition of the value (unbound) is written in the BF 4 as data to be retrieved and data accessed to another PE are stored on the basis of keys. In case a CPU 1 in the PE 0 read out the value of the variable, an MSC 3 associatively retrieves the inside of the BF 4 then another PE is accessed. Only at the time of failure, a network control device (NC) 5 accesses the MSC 3 in another PE through a network 10. Consequently, the load of the network can be sharply reduced.</p> |
