Due to continual progress in the large-scale integration of semiconductor circuits, parallel computing principles can already be met in low-cost sys tems: numerous examples exist in image processing, for which special hard ware is implementable with quite modest resources even by nonprofessional designers. Principles of content addressing, if thoroughly understood, can thereby be applied effectively using standard components. On the other hand, mass storage based on associative principles still exists only in the long term plans of computer technologists. This situation is somewhat confused by the fact that certain expectations are held for the development of new storage media such as optical memories and "spin glasses" (metal alloys with low-density magnetic impurities). Their technologies, however, may not ripen until after "fifth generation" computers have been built. It seems that software methods for content addressing, especially those based on hash coding principles, are still holding their position firmly, and a few innovations have been developed recently. As they need no special hardware, one might expect that they will spread to a wide circle of users. This monograph is based on an extensive literature survey, most of which was published in the First Edition. I have added Chap. ?, which contains a review of more recent work. This updated book now has references to over 1200 original publications. In the editing of the new material, I received valuable help from Anneli HeimbUrger, M. Sc. , and Mrs. Leila Koivisto.

With the advance of semiconductors and ubiquitous computing, the use of system-on-a-chip (SoC) has become an essential technique to reduce product cost. With this progress and continuous reduction of feature sizes, and the development of very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits, addressing the harder problems requires fundamental understanding

Content addressable memories or content addressable parallel processors or associative memories or associative processors have been around the computing scene for almost 20 years now. Several hundred papers have been written discussing their use and design but so far no single text or reference book has tried to summarize the field. This volume attempts to remedy this lack. It attempts to gather into one place all the information that exists as of late 1975.

This book describes the various tradeoffs systems designers face when designing embedded memory. Readers designing multi-core systems and systems on chip will benefit from the discussion of different topics from memory architecture, array organization, circuit design techniques and design for test. The presentation enables a multi-disciplinary approach to chip design, which bridges the gap between the architecture level and circuit level, in order to address yield, reliability and power-related issues for embedded memory.

"It is not in the interest of business leaders to turn public schools into vocational schools. We can teach [students] how to be marketing people. We can teach them how to manage balance sheets," stated Louis V. Gerstner Jr. of IBM at the recent Education Summit meeting in New York. He continued, "What is killing us is having to teach them to read and to compute and to communicate and to think." (TIME, April 8, 1996, page 40). The last sentence is most significant because it sets requirements for educa tion and hence gives the specification for a textbook. The textbook should contain all the necessary scientific information that the reader will need to practice the art in the technological world. In addition to the scientific detail, illustrative examples are necessary. The book should teach science without restricting creativity, and it should prepare the student for solving problems never encountered before. In pursuing our goal of advancing the frontiers of test technology, we must cover applications, education, and research. This is the first textbook in the "Frontiers" series. Semiconductor memories represent the frontier of VLSI in more ways than one. First, memories have always used more aggressive physical design rules and higher densities than other VLSI chips, thus advancing the semiconductor technology. Second, the availability of low-cost memory chips makes numerous software applications possible by fueling the demand for all types of chips.

Magnetic nanowires and microwires are key tools in the development ofenhanced devices for information technology (memory and data processing) andsensing. Offering the combined characteristics of high density, high speed, andnon-volatility, they facilitate reliable control of the motion of magnetic domainwalls; a key requirement for the development of novel classes of logic and storagedevices. Part One introduces the design and synthesis of magnetic nanowires andmicrowires, reviewing the growth and processing of nanowires and nanowireheterostructures using such methods as sol-gel and electrodepositioncombinations, focused-electron/ion-beam-induced deposition, chemicalvapour transport, quenching and drawing and magnetic interactions. Magneticand transport properties, alongside domain walls, in nano- and microwiresare then explored in Part Two, before Part Three goes on to explore a widerange of applications for magnetic nano- and microwire devices, includingmemory, microwave and electrochemical applications, in addition to thermalspin polarization and configuration, magnetocalorific effects and Bloch pointdynamics. - Detailed coverage of multiple key techniques for the growth and processing of nanowires and microwires - Reviews the principles and difficulties involved in applying magnetic nano- and microwires to a wide range of applications - Combines the expertise of specialists from around the globe to give a broad overview of current and future trends
