    摘要: In known speech recognition systems, processors and methods, utterances are analyzed to obtain a set of reference signals. An unknown signal may be compared with the reference signals. The unknown signal may be said to be the reference signal with which it most closely corresponds as defined by some correspondence measure. Known signal recognition arrangements using multiple processor cells tend to be expensive, in part because they tend to use many processor cells.The disclosed system, processor and method contemplate an arrangement including an array of processor cells for time warping an unknown signal having m elements with respect to a reference signal having n elements or vice versa. The cells, responsive to control signals on a control diagonal, generate the correspondence measure. As the signals propagate through the array, the instant arrangement recirculates signals from cells near one (or first) periphery of the arrangement, e.g., from the right periphery, to cells near another (or second) periphery, e.g., to the left periphery. As a result, rather than using m.times.n processor cells, the instant arrangement may use substantially less than m.times.n cells.

    摘要: Known signal processors for matching signal patterns commonly compare an unknown signal with one of a set of reference signals. Various comparison techniques are known. One comparison technique for solving a parenthesization problem includes an orthogonal array of interconnected cells which are adapted for dynamic programming and for extending data and control information in a generally left-to-right direction as well as in a bottom-to-top direction. For solving a pattern matching problem, known arrangements for extending control information in a generally left-to-right or bottom-to-top direction do not appear to be satisfactory. The disclosed signal processor for matching signal patterns and for dynamically time warping an unknown input signal with a reference input signal generates a measure of the correspondence between the input signals. In generating the correspondence measure, the processor includes an arrangement for controlling all processor cells on a predetermined diagonal of the array of cells. Thereby all cells coupled to the diagonal can operate in parallel to increase and improve the efficiency of the signal processor. The processor also includes an arrangement for controlling all processor cells on each diagonal of the array of cells. As a result, not only can all cells on each diagonal operate in parallel but also each of the plurality of diagonals can operate in parallel for processing the same or different sets of input signals. Thereby, a still further increase in the efficiency of the signal processor obtains.

    摘要: To substantially increase the bandwidth of a random access memory (RAM), a shift register is disposed within the memory array such that the shift register lies parallel to the word lines and is connected to at least individual ones of the bit lines contained within the array. Separate high-speed serial input and output lines are provided by the shift register. These lines are in addition to and operate independently of the slower speed input and output lines normally provided by the RAM. Through this arrangement, a row of data can be transferred to and from the memory array at a rate substantially faster than the single-bit access rate of the RAM.
