Implementation of a Cellular Computing Memory Array

Abstract

<p> A Cellular Computing Memory Array consisting of twenty cells of three words plus logic per cell has been constructed and interfaced to a digital computer. Both arithmetic and logic operations can be performed between words of a cell and those of adjacent cells, the results of which may be stored in any of the three words of the cell. The cells are organized in a two dimensional array so that each cell can communicate with the four nearest neighbours. In addition to the ordinary communication between cells to perform operations on data in adjacent cells, data can be transferred in the memory plane on a mass basis.</p>
