W. Daniel Hillis Proposes the Connection Machine Architecture
In 1985, W. Daniel Hillis of MIT and Thinking Machines Corporation completed his doctoral dissertation introducing the Connection Machine, a massively parallel architecture connecting 65,536 single-bit processors to accelerate symbolic and artificial-intelligence computation, realised as the CM-1 system.
