Abstract

Summary form only given. This paper describes the implementation and use of a dedicated associative SIMD coprocessor ideally suited for many applications such as database processing, image processing, genome matching, or molecular similarity analysis. The concept of associative SIMD processing is introduced, and differentiated from other associative and SIMD techniques. Then our ASC (associative computing) processor is briefly described, along with its implementation of associative SIMD processing. Finally, we demonstrate the use of our ASC processor on relational database processing and on the image processing operation of edge detection.
