The Massively Parallel DADO Machine
Dado2 Machine Front View
-
This cool looking machine was actually designed by me and my former
associates. Its the DADO machine.
- Dado2 Machine Internal View
-
This version, the DADO2,
has 1023 microprocessors all working together in this 2 cubic foot
box to speed up all sorts of
intelligent programs, those written in a rule-based style.
- Dado2 Machine Daughter Boards
-
The machine
was successfully demonstrated on December 5, 1985. It was also
designed to be really fast at
speech recognition
to spot words in continuous speech many times
real time. This is very useful on a network to listen to many voices
in multiplex fashion to respond to each within an appropriate time frame.
- Dado2 Backplane
-
Really cool machine and one of the initial group emanating from the DARPA
Strategic Computing Program. The patented DADO technology is in the commercial
domain and you may some day use it without even knowing it!
