Preface
In the past two decades, the fields of VLSI systems design and massively parallel computation have
grown into mature disciplines. Both fields began as research topics in industrial and academic
laboratories; today, they form the core technologies for several large corporations. This report
proposesamassivelyparallelcomputer, theConnectionistNetwork Supercomputer(CNS-1),which
leverages off these fields. By targeting the computer to connectionist networks and related
applications, we can focus on custom chip design and efficient software to achieve performance
