"Wrong, tcmay.
AI programs, for the most part, are built around LISP, or a LISP like language.
LISP is primarily a linked list processor, and running through linked lists is where AMD's 20-way cache dominates Intel's 8-way cache.
That "generalization" that zofsilence posted was both germane and correct. "
I started and ran Intel's first AI effort, using Symbolics 3670 LISP machines, so I am fully aware of what LISP is.
As I said in my post, there are many types of "AI" programs, ranging over the spectrum I discussed.
Intel's computer vision software is much more akin to conventional image processing projects (BTW, I also set up Intel's image processing lab) than it is to an expert system or other data mining system. Open CV is a set of tools for manipulating images, comparing them, running filters, and doing edge enhancement and feature extraction.
This is essentially numeric processing, not symbolic processing over large data sets. And most definiately not expert systems. The fact that Open CV is closely linked to MatLab should be a major clue. See Marr's classic textbook on computer vision for examples of the algorithms.
Your ignorance in software apparently equals your ignorance in hardware.
No doubt you will call in the Maniban to get me banned from posting here in your little swamp of disinformation.
