This follows from the fact of life that in going from parallel to serial realizations of various algorithms the hardware requirements fall much more rapidly than does the speed. Furthermore the speeds of the slower, serial, arithmetic units may be more closely matched to those of memory and to other parts of the system. Thus the need for extra control circuitry, for high-speed registers, queueing circuits and look-ahead control, for example, is reduced and the system's overall cost/performance ratio improved. For appropriate serial configurations then, performance may be improved relative to a parallel system when system costs are to be held constant. Reconfiguration of a fast parallel circuit, for example, can yield a number of slower serial devices which, when kept busy, will increase throughput of the system.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130213528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The assembly of individual matrix planes is usually followed by another expensive step wherein the planes of a memory stack are interconnected. The key to low cost matrix memories lies in integrated or batch fabrication of the memory elements and wiring structure of a plane, and also batch forming the interconnections between planes in a memory stack. Additional economy results from making the bit capacity of a plane as large as possible. The need for batch fabricated memory planes appears to be generally recognized, considering the number of suggestions that have been made for achieving the goal. Thin magnetic film memory elements were initially of interest because of their high switching speed, which made very fast memories possible, but today thin magnetic film memories are of interest principally because they offer one approach to batch fabrication, since in the meantime ways have been found for achieving high speed with ferrites.","PeriodicalId":143723,"journal":{"name":"AFIPS '65 (Fall, part I)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1899-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131335198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
