Abstract

Work with associative memories and associative-array processing has culminated in the development of fine-grained single-instruction, multiple-data computing systems, called vertical processing systems, that employ bit-slice sequential processing. After reviewing the engineering characteristics of various commercial and research models such as the DAP, MPP, and CM, this survey proposes a combined architecture that links a VPS with a set of highly specialized, homogenous coprocessors
