Abstract

An associative type computer capable of wirelessly coupling with a high density of computers of the same structure comprising a cube shaped casing surrounding elements such as CPU or memory IC 10 and input/output interface 14. Signal transmission elements 22, 24 for wirelessly coupling the input/output interface of an adjacent computer are disposed on the inside of each face of the casing. The signal transmission elements are connected to the input/output interface 14 of the inside of the casing 4, such that wireless bilateral data transmission can be carried out between the signal transmission elements 22, 24 of the other computerd through the signal transmission elements 22, 24 of the computer. The acceptance and output of the data from the other computer by the signal transmission elements 22, 24 can be carried out through a multiple switch router 16, and the signal transmission path connecting each computer can be optionally set.
