Computer-sensors: Spatial-temporal computers for analog array signals, dynamically integrated with sensors

In this paper, first, an overview is given about the whole scenario of anal ogic CNN computing, as a paradigm of Spatial-temporal Instruction Set Compu ter (StISC) operating on flows of signal arrays. Next, two areas on CNN Com puting Technology are considered briefly: (i) the architectural advances, e specially the variable resolution and adaptation in space, time, and value and (ii) the computational infrastructure from high level language and comp iler to physical implementations. Three basic physical implementations are supposed: analogic CMOS, emulated digital CMOS and optical. The computation al infrastructure is the same for all implementations, except the physical interfaces. Finally, the systematic description of the Non-equilibrium Spat ial-temporal (NEST) algorithms is given, as a new way of array signal proce ssing, and some practical aspects of NEST algorithms are discussed.
