ASSOCIATIVE LIST SELECTOR.
Abstract
The design and operation of an Associative List Selector (ALS) and a Switching Unit (SUN) is described. The ALS, used in conjunction with a controlling computer (either the CDC 1604B or the Univac M1218), provides a unique approach to rapid list intersection. The approach utilized is a form of content addressing, and specifically is termed 'hash' addressing or address calculation. The memory within the ALS is a conventional read/modify/write memory with a cycle time of one microsecond. It has the capacity to store 4096 words of 72 bits each. The ALS has the ability to handle lists with a nominal length of 2000 items.
