A Class of Operations Suitable for Fractional-Size Associative Memories

Abstract

TDAAB07-72-C-0058PRON-C8-2-08501-01-C8-CAECOM0058-61(*memory devices, performance(engineering)), cost effectiveness, time studies, efficiency, computer programming*associative storageAssociative memories have extremely useful capabilities, but the memories are extremely expensive. One way of circumventing the high hardware cost is to use an associative memory which is smaller than the data base, and process the data by pages. By using a smaller memory the hardware costs are thus reduced. Some operations can be performed quite efficiently on an associative memory smaller than the data base, (Fractional-Size Associative Memory) while others cannot. In this report a class of operations which are performed efficiently on a Fractional-Size Associative Memory is defined.
