Abstract

In this paper we investigate several uses for a content-addressable memory (CAM) as a component of the fixed-plus-variable computing system proposed by G. Esterin. Objectives of the paper are to: 1. Delineate some areas of application for a CAM. 2. Describe efficient CAM algorithms for solution of problems in these areas. 3. Compare efficiencies of CAM algorithms to those for conventional computers and for related cellular computers.
