Abstract
The invention relates to a unique solid state computer organization. Essentially, the system comprises a plurality of associative arrays wherein each associative array comprises parallel processing apparatus and a solid state memory capable of being accessed in either a word-oriented or a bit-oriented mode. The associative processor apparatus within each associative array provides for the parallel processing of data within the associative arrays in either of the two modes. Control apparatus within the system provides for the parallel control of the plurality of associative arrays at a speed conducive to the data processing speed of the associative arrays. Rapid speed of the control apparatus is economically achieved by the arrangement of a plurality of separate and characteristically distinct control memory elements.
