🧠 First Concurrent Programming in Neural Network Research

Stevo Bozinovski and Charles Anderson carry out first concurrent programming (task parallelism) in neural network research. A program, "CAA Controller" written and executed by Bozinovski interacts with the program "Inverted Pendulum Dynamics" written and executed by Anderson, using VAX/VMS mailboxes as a way of inter-program communication. The CAA controller learns to balance the simulated inverted pendulum.⟶
