TL;DR
The task of evaluating the feasibility of the SOLOMON computer has led to investigations of problems which primarily involve elementary, simultaneous computations of an iterative nature, and the solution of linear systems and the maintenance of real-time multi-dimensional control and surveillance situations have been considered.
Abstract
The SOLOMON computer has a novel design which is intended to give it unusual capabilities in certain areas of computation. The arithmetic unit of SOLOMON is constructed with a large number of simple processing elements suitably interconnected, and hence differs from that of a conventional computer by being capable of a basically parallel operation. The initial development and study of this new computer has led to considerable scientific and engineering inquiry in three problem areas:
