1.1 General Purpose Processor The vast majority of contemporary processors can be described as general purpose processors (GPP), with a structure often referred to as “von Neumann”. 1.2 Associative Array Processor In addition special processors have been developed for dedicated applications, some involving parallel processing. The associative array processors (AAP) [2] or the synchronous array processors like ILLIAC IV [3] are answers to the challenge of parallel processing. This paper examines whether these two, apparently very different, types of processors can be united in a single design. To achieve this a Conventional GPP is extended by additional logic, such that additional microprograms and possibly additional microoperations are included in the control unit and in the arithmetic unit.
