Description
Artificial Intelligence algorithms and programs are rapidly outgrowing the computational powers of most present-day, conventional computers. The support of efficient symbolic processing requires the development of new architectural features, languages, algorithms and representation schemes. This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment of the design issues and current research efforts in the area of Artificial Intelligence application support systems. This book includes sample designs for hardware and software; a section on data parallelism in AI processing, using the Connection Machine as a real-life example, and extensive discussion of LISP machines, Smalltalk-80 systems, and VLSI systems.
