Abstract
Parallel processing RAM (PPRAM) is an architectural framework for merged memory/logic application-specific standard products (ASSPs). It integrates onto a single chip (1) a large amount of DRAM and/or SRAM and/or flash EEPROM and/or FRAM (2) zero or more general-purpose processors and/or application-specific processors and/or FPGA, etc.; (3) a network interface based on a common communication protocol. Many different implementations of PPRAM are possible. All provide a common network interface (called PPRAM-link). System designers will be able to construct computer systems of any size, of any functionality, and of any performance, just by choosing the required PPRAM chips from those various PPRAM implementations and by interconnecting them through the PPRAM-link network.Keywords
