    摘要: A computer including a processor array and a routing network. Processors in the processor array generate messages for transfer to over the routing network, each message including a path identifier portion identifying a path from a source, message processor to a destination processor. The routing network comprises a plurality of interconnected router nodes, at least some of said router nodes being connected to the processors to receive messages therefrom and transmit messages thereto. Each router node operates in a plurality of modes. In a first mode, the router nodes couple received messages to a router node connected thereto in accordance with the path identifier portion to thereby transfer each respective message along the path identified in its path identifier portion. In a second mode, the router node couple received messages to predetermined ones of the router nodes or processors connected thereto, the predetermined ones of said router nodes or processors being selected to facilitate transfer of a message to a nearby processor to facilitate the rapid emptying of the routing network of messages. A control element controls the router nodes to enable them to operate in the first mode or second mode generally contemporaneously.

    摘要: A digital computer comprising a plurality of message generating nodes interconnected by a routing network. The routing network transfers messages among the message generating elements in accordance with address information identifying a destination message generating element. Each message generating node includes a message data generator and a network interface. The message data generator generates message data items each including an address data portion comprising a destination identifier. The network interface includes a message generator and an address translation table, the table including a plurality of entries identifying, for at least one destination identifier, a translated destination identifier. The message generator, in response to the receipt of a message data item from the message data generator, generates a message for transmission to the routing network. In generating the message, the message generator performs an address translation operation in connection with the address data and the contents of the address translation table to generate updated address data which it uses data in connection with generating address information for the message.

    摘要: An enhanced toy produces repeating, decaying notes in response to applied pressure. The tone of each note is determined, based on the location at which a user applies pressure. The initial amplitude of each note is proportional to the intensity, as measured by a stress sensor. The toy periodically repeats each note, attenuating the amplitude of each successive repetition by a decay factor. The toy may alter the notes associated with each of a plurality of locations. For example, if all currently repeating notes have decayed below a predetermined threshold, the currently available set of notes may be exchanged for a new set of notes, e.g. with different tones or timbres. The stress sensors may comprise flexible capacitors within the toy. As the user applies pressure, the geometry of one or more capacitors deform, altering the measured capacitance, through which the intensity of the applied pressure is determined.
