We describe two information disseminating schemes, t-disseminate and t-Rdisseminate in a computer network with N processors, where each processor can send a message to t-directions at each round. If no processors have failed, these schemes are time optimal. When at most t processors have failed, for t1 and t2 any of these schemes can broadcast information within any consecutive logt+1N2 rounds, and for an arbitrary t they can broadcast information within any consecutive logt+1N3 rounds.

By adding some functions to memories, highly parallel computation may be realized. We have proposed memory-based parallel computation models, which uses a new functional memory as a SIMD type parallel computation engine. In this paper, we consider models with communication between the words of the functional memory. The memory-based parallel computation model consists of a random access machine and a functional memory. On the functional memory, it is possible to access multiple words in parallel according to the partial match with their memory addresses. The cube-FRAM model, which we propose in this paper, has a hypercube network on the functional memory. We prove that PSPACE is accelerated to polynomial time on the model. We think that the operations on each word of the functional memory are, in a sense, the essential ones for SIMD type parallel computation to realize the computational power.

This paper presents a new connected associative memory neural network. In this network, a threshold function which has two dynamical parameters is introduced. After analyzing the dynamical behaviors and giving an upper bound of the memory capacity of the conventional connected associative memory neural network, it is demonstrated that these parameters play an important role in the recalling processes of the connected neural network. An approximate method of evaluationg their optimum values is given. Further, the optimum feedback stopping time of this network is discussed. Therefore, in our network, the recalling processes are ended at the optimum feedback stopping time whether a state energy has been local minimum or not. The simulations on computer show that the dynamical behaviors of our network are greatly improved. Even though the number of learned patterns is so large as the number of neurons, the statistical properties of the dynamical behaviors of our network are that the output series of recalling processes approach to the expected patterns on their initial inputs.
