The unique feature of this multiple accessibility of the memory is realized by applying a binomial concentrator, a type of sparse crossbar interconnection network, to content-addressable memory. The organization of the memory system and the concentration network structure as well as the network characteristics are described along with a distributive control algorithm. Applications of the memory system to parallel processing environments are also included. END:: ncstrl.dartmouthcs//TR86-105
