چکیده
In order to reduce the memory access time for a Single-Instruction Multiple-Data stream (SIMD) computer with pq processing elements attached to a host computer, a multiaccess memory system is proposed in this paper. The proposed memory system supports simultaneous access to pq data elements within a 4-directional block (p q), a row (1 pq), a column (pq 1), a forward-diagonal, and a backward-diagonal subarray with a constant interval in an arbitrary position in an M N array of data elements, where the number of memory modules, m, is a prime number greater than pq. For the simple and fast address calculation and routing circuit, the address differences between the pq addresses and the base address are arranged in ascending order according to the index numbers of m memory modules from the index number of memory module of the first element. The proposed multiaccess memory system provides more subarray types and more constant intervals than the previous memory systems.

Guest Editors' Introduction: Special Section on Emerging Memory Technologies in Very Large Scale Computing and Storage Systems
THE overwhelmingly increasing demand for both storage and computation necessitates revisiting the traditional memory subsystems used in processors and storage systems to take advantage of emerging memory technologies. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) have been ubiquitously used for decades as main memory and as on-chip cache, respectively. Scaling and p...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) model has been actively and widely used for file sharing in Internet. While many research efforts have been made to improve its performance, some organizations have expressed their serious concerns to P2P applications in Internet, such as copyright violations, information leaking, and inefficient usage of Internet resources. Instead of presenting my subjective views to these ...
