Abstract
A connectionist architecture based on a VLSI chip,
the $sum$-chip, is described. In it single bit values are
communicated between units by heavily multiplexing them.
Individual units perform a weighted sum of their inputs and compare
the result to a threshold in order to compute the (single bit)
output. Potential applications, including rule based reasoning,
constraint satisfaction, picture processing, and
the game of life are briefly described and their space and time
requirements analyzed.
