Abstract
Multiple thread functionality in a general purpose set theoretic processor (GPSTP) is implemented by addition of a thread memory for processing multiple interleaved data input streams to enable state save-and-restore functionality. The thread memory is functionally distributed among three parts of the GPSTP that change state during execution. The system structure minimizes the number of bits required to be saved and restored, and cell structures are configured implement the multi-thread functionality.
Claims7
A general purpose set theoretic processor having a recognition matrix with a plurality of detection cells, said detection cells being coupled to receive output of a latent response memory, the improvement comprising:
- a latch matrix coupled said recognition matrix;
- a latch state save and restore memory coupled to said latch matrix, said latch state save and restore memory for retaining state of said latch matrix;
- an activity matrix with a plurality of activity cells coupled to said plurality of detection cells;
- said detection cells apply detection output to said activity matrix;
- and wherein connection among said activity cells and among said detection cells is effected only through said activity matrix.
