Abstract
This invention has 3 parts. Part 1 proposes a new CNN universal chip architecture with analog stored programs and time-multiplex templates. This breakthrough replaces hundreds of dedicated CNN chips with a single programmable, real-time VLSI chip with comparable significance to the invention of the microprocessor which gave birth to the personal computer industry. Part 2 proposes a unique wireless non-optical method for outputting information from the CNN analog array via electromagnetic waves generated by nonlinear oscillations and chaos. Part 3 combines a set of analog, or digitally emulated, CNN universal chips to design a CNN array supercomputer capable of solving nonlinear partial differential equations (e.g., wave type, Navier-Stokes-type, etc.) at a fraction of the time or cost required by current digital supercomputers. Indeed, 'programmable physics' or 'programmable bionics' can be implemented.
