A Study of Solid State Bulk Memory Storage Techniques.
Abstract
The report describes a study to determine which solid state memory technique is most promising for use in building a reasonably-priced, ruggedized, random access, 1 billion -bit mass memory. Those techniques currently under development were identified. These included LSI, beam accessed, magnetic shift register, ferroacoustic, and array memory techniques. A thorough search of the literature was conducted, and a memory system model was constructed for each technique that showed suitability for use in a mass memory. Six models were constructed: bubble, Soniscan, optical, DOT, LSI, and oligatomic. The models were rated and compared, indicating that the magnetic bubble technique was likely to prove the most satisfactory. A five-year research and development plan was generated to indicate the steps required to reach the goal of a militarized 1 billion -bit random-access memory using the magnetic bubble technique.
