Publisher's Synopsis
Researchers and engineers always need faster computers than the currently existing ones. However rapidly computer engineering may develop on an intemational scale, there are always important fields of application for which the performances of the currently existing computers are absolutely inadequate. This book covers the subject of memory systems that have the possibility of parallel accesses to windows consisting of several memory words each. In modem computer architecture the design of parallel memories is of fundamental importance. The authors present the most significant theoretical foundations currently existing for parallel access as well as explaining the principles of design in the light of actual design examples. Thus, the engineer interested in practical aspects will be able to conceive and design parallel memory systems on his own.
