Abstract

A method and circuit for processing digital signals representative of vectors that permits processing between pairs of vectors of sets of vectors for ensuring the meeting in space and time of these vectors. This meeting is effected using parallel processing in a two-dimensional network of cells for processing the component assigned to a dimension of the network, and sequentially by partitioning the sets into sub-sets subjected to processing during a microcycle, during which a sub-set is stored. A sub-set is stored during a macrocycle for the next processing and so on. Vectors can consist of tuples of a data base.
