The dinary numerical system and its applications to modern parallel processing computers

The Dinary Numerical System (DNS) is an extension or Binary Numerical System. By utilizing the newly developed Large-Scale-Integration technology, DNS can be implemented as a new concept of computer organization which has the merits or parallel processing. DNS consists or three rield elements: they are -1, 0, and +1. Since DNS representation is not necessarily unique, new algorithms to generate the number or representations and all equivalent representations are presented in this paper. A Block-Oriented-Computer (BOC) is developed as an array or computing systems. For each of the systems. the arithmetic unit is essentially a modified Digital Difrerential Analyzer. The BOC uses binary and dinary numbers as inputs. Arter being manipulated by special schemes. the BOC which operates rrom left to right contrary to the conventional computers generates dinary numbers as outputs. The merit or the lert-to-right algorithm is that the most signiricant digits are available for further operations while the least signiricant digits are still being processed.
