%T Parallel Accessible Memory %A Shinji Nakamura %R Technical Report PCS-TR86-105 %I Dartmouth College, Computer Science %C Hanover, NH %D 1986 %U http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/reports/TR86-105.pdf %X A new design of a memory device which allows simultaneous access to more than one location is proposed. 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.
