Overview
Covers recent research on associative processing and processors and details the unique features they offer for cost-effective system solutions. The book explores the distinct advantages that associative processing systems have over other parallel processors. The text illustrates associative processing techniques for both traditional architectures and architectures that support multi-associative processing. It details several general purpose associative processing architectures, as well as a dataflow architecture that uses associative processing elements. It also discusses software support and looks into developments in parallel languages and environments that simplify parallel programming and provide greater portability among hardware platforms. In addition, the book examines five applications that employ associative processing: database mining, logic programming with Prolog, natural language translation, image rendering and ray tracing. The book concludes with an exploration of associativity in neural network processing.Book Details
