Neural network algorithms are feasible for larger data sets than batch
methods because they are better able to take advantage of developments
in computer architecture. DK96, Chapter 8, discuss the potential for ex-
ploiting parallel VSLI (very large scale integration) systems, where the
most appropriate algorithms may be different from those for non-parallel
systems (DK96, Section 3.5.5). They discuss both digital and analogue
implementations and their pros and cons (DK96, Section 8.3). Classical
eigenvector-based algorithms are not easily parallelizable, whereas neural
network algorithms are (DK96 pp. 205–207).
