Abstract

In analyzing two implemented intelligent secondary memories, CASSM and RAP, we recognize a common mechanism which is here called an imaginary field. The mechanism can be generalized to suggest further design possibilities. It further explains the complex and controversial CASSM mechanism, “pointer transfer” in terms of separate but related principles—imaginary fields, token transfers, and floating codes—such that further designs can utilize some or all of the techniques.
