An overview of current Connection Machine applications at MRJ

Diverse current Connection Machine (CM) applications at MRJ Inc. are surveyed. Both current contract and internal R&D activities are addressed. These include: three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering models using a finite-difference method and the method of moments; signal processing; system scheduling; synthetic aperture radar pattern recognition; robotic arm control; optimal resource allocation; traveling salesman; three-dimensional shape recognition; large matrix solution and eigenvalue determination; Monte Carlo techniques; computational fluid dynamics; communications network reconstruction; multispectral image analysis; strategic defense simulation; battlefield analysis; optical system ray tracing; logistics models; and symbolic computation. A Fortran-to-CM language semiautomated translator is used to facilitate these efforts
