Abstract:

A research and development program was conducted to investigate the technique of utilizing ferroelectric and photoconductor elements in an advanced associative memory. An analytical and experimental study was performed to examine the inherent logic capability of these electro-optical elements with respect to flexibility of parallel associative search and parallel arithmetic processing. A material effort was directed toward the development of thin film processes for the fabrication of the electro-optical elements. A breadboarded model was constructed to provide demonstration of these search and processing techniques. A logic was developed for performing arithmetic processing.
