Abstract:
This disclosure teaches a memory that performs logical operations by combining two or more words of data in a single storage location or on a storage signal carrying wire such that the data signals combine in ways that have logical significance. Threshold logic circuits are connected with the memory signal wires to propagate carries for addition or subtraction.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an associative memory for the storage of digital data in which each word location of the memory is provided with two or more match triggers. Mans is provided for registering matches or mismatches in a selected trigger and for controlling operations on the memory in response to the contents of a selected trigger. Several operations are described which use the plural triggers.
Abstract:
Three associative stores are interconnected to provide a data processor. A control store contains a microprogram and it emits tags that select a function table in a working store and data from a local store, the data being applied to the working store as a look-up argument. The local store may also hold a macroprogram. Two of the stores are interconnected so that a tag emitted by one is used to address the other and vice versa. A nonassociative main store may be connected to the local store.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION PROVIDES AN ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY (OR OTHER ORDERED ARRAY OF ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS) WITH MEANS FOR STEPPING FROM WORD TO WORD THROUGH THE ARRAY FOR CERTAIN OPERATIONS AND A NOVEL CIRCUIT FOR BYPASSING DEFECTIVE WORDS. AN ARRAY WITH DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS REMAINS OPERABLE AT A REDUCED CAPACITY.
