The AM/sup 3/ associative processor
Bernd Klauer, Andreas Bleck, Klaus Waldschmidt · IEEE Micro · 1995
As an associative 32-bit processor based on a modified Harvard architecture, the Associative Microprogrammable Multipurpose Monoprocessor (AM/sup 3/) uses a standard address-bus system to handle von Neumann data and instructions. A separate addressless associative bus system links it to associative memory components. Its microprogrammability enables the AM/sup 3/ to adapt to a variety of associative memory circuits. After discussing the AM/sup 3/ architecture and programming environment, we present two application paradigms.>
