Marching memory, a bidirectional marching memory, a complex marching memory and a computer system, without the memory bottleneck

A computer system, comprising

• a processor;
• and
• a marching main memory, configured to provide the processor with stored information actively and sequentially so that the processor can execute arithmetic and logic operations with the stored information, in addition results of processing in the processor are sent out to the marching main memory, except that in case of instructions movement, there is only one way of instructions flow from the marching main memory to the processor, the marching main memory includes
• an array of memory units deployed along a row direction, each of the memory units having a sequence of bit-level cells aligned in a column direction perpendicular to the row direction, configured to operate with a power supplied by a single clock signal supply line, each of the bit-level cells comprising:
• a transfer-transistor having
• a first main-electrode connected to the clock signal supply line serving as an oscillating power supply line through a first R-C delay element, which makes a first exponential transient response, potentials of the power supply line swinging periodically between the logical levels of “0” and “1”,
• a second main-electrode opposing to the first main-electrode, and
• a control-electrode configured to control a current flowing between the first and the second-main electrodes, connected to an output terminal of a first neighboring bit-level cell disposed at input side of the array of the memory units along the row direction through a second R-C delay element, which makes a second exponential transient response;
• a reset-transistor having
• a first main-electrode connected to a second main-electrode of the transfer-transistor,

• a second main-electrode connected to the ground potential;
• and
• a capacitor configured to store a signal charge as information of the bit-level cell, connected in parallel with the reset-transistor;
• wherein an output node connecting the second main-electrode of the transfer-transistor and the first main-electrode of the reset-transistor serves as an output terminal of the bit-level cell, and the output terminal of the bit-level cell delivers the signal charge stored in the capacitor to a second neighboring bit-level cell disposed at output side of the array of the memory units along the row direction.
