Abstract :
An associative memory system that is specialized to support the syntax and associated pattern-matching rules common to declarative expression is discussed. A coprocessor board based on an array of custom VLSI chips that combine both logic and memory is described. It is shown how this hardware supports a number of popular intelligent-system architectures. Application to querying a dynamic database is considered.<>
