Geometric-arithmetic parallel processor

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7020019
A parallel data processor having cells for processing digital data signals is described comprising: a controller for generating control signals in response to program instructions; and, identical interconnected cells each including a full adder having two data input terminals, a carry input terminal, a sum output terminal, and a carry output terminal, and memories connected to the full adder and the controller. The memories each being individually controllable to supply selected ones of predetermined data signals to the input terminals of the full adder in response to control signals from the controller, the memories being connected to the full adder and the controller such that both logical and arithmetic operations are performed by the full adder.
