Abstract

This paper describes the computer system designed under an Air Force sponsored study program to develop a non-cryogenic Associative Processor organization and to study its possible use in a variety of Aerospace applications. Two approaches were considered to this problem: one in which an associative memory would be added to a more or less conventional computer and another in which a new organization would be developed around the principle of memory distributed logic. The latter approach was chosen because it appears to result in a more efficient form of parallel processor.
