CRYOGENIC ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

The problem in superconductive associative memories divides into two areas: (1) the basic cell and (2) the memory array. The superconducting memory array must retrieve the information or responses from the memory at reasonable times. The responses may be multiple. The conveventional superconducting ladder network used for retrieving responses has a long time constant associated with it. One must resort to newer approaches such as the Sequentially Addressed Write (SAW) or the Sequentially Interrogated Ladder (SIL) to obtain reasonable speeds and to overcome the problems of interconnections. During the period of this contract, a new cell called the bridge cell was successfully tested. The lip cell, the associative superconductive memory version of the bridge cell, was also tested and a partial success with further tests limited by the termination of the contract. (Author)
