AN ANALYSIS OF THE MULTIPLE INSTANTANEOUS RESPONSE FILE,

Abstract

The functional capability of a device called the Multiple Instantaneous Response File (MIRF) is clarified. The MIRF is a document surrogate storage and retrieval device which employs a mechanically alterable, read only content addressable, parallel search memory. Organization of the memory permits the user of the file to be on-line in addition to providing automatic search refine ment functions. Some attention is given to the evaluation of MIRF, but this involves essentially a review of the evaluation problem. This report does not discuss the hardware aspects of the MIRF but it does briefly mention the applicability of memories having the same basic features. (Author)
