Adaptive Associative Systems For VLSI

Rückert U, Goser K. Adaptive Associative Systems For VLSI. In: Becker JD, Eisele I, eds. WOPPLOT 86 Parallel Processing: Logic, Organization, and Technology Proceedings of a Workshop Neubiberg, Federal Republic of Germany, July 2–4, 1986. Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Vol 253. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer; 1987: 166-184.A physical network of an adaptive associative memory is presented. The concept of the network is derived from the Analog Associative Memory due to T. Kohonen and from the Associative Matrix due to G. Palm. The system concept of such a memory is adapted to the VLSI-technique by being partioned into uniform memory slices and by introducing a nonvolatile memory cell. Especially the task of transferring the system concept into technology in order to realize a microelectronic component with new interesting features will be pointed out. The performance of an adaptive associative memory is discussed by means of computer simulations
