Abstract: Apparatus is provided for forming an absolute address for accessing the memory of a computer in which a plurality of associative registers each containing an associative word are arranged in sequential order, each associative word having an absolute page identifier and a virtual page identifier. Means is provided for comparing the virtual page identifier of the associative words with a virtual page identifier of a job program, and means is provided for sequentially shifting the associative words so that the associative word containing the virtual page identifier which corresponds to the virtual page identifier of the job program is placed in the highest ordered associative register.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a non-conformance analysis system may include at least one information storage tool that stores previously generated non-conformance information; a data mining tool that retrieves specific attributes of the previously generated non-conformance information stored in the at least one information storage tool; an associative memory subsystem that is populated with information involving a plurality of entity types, with each entity type including at least one entity, to form an associative memory; and a user input device that enables a user to input a non-conformance query into the associative memory subsystem, that causes the associative memory subsystem to generate all of the entity types and entities that include information useful for investigating the non-conformance query.

Abstract: A version controlled associative array is provided. A method of the invention includes providing a version control system on a computer, creating within the version control system an associative array comprising a collection of keys and corresponding values, applying a version control operation to the associative array to version control the collection of keys and corresponding values, and applying a version control operation to a collection of associative arrays, each viewed as a database record, and organized as a group of database tables forming a database. An apparatus, a computer system, and a computer readable medium pertaining to the version controlled associative array invention are also provided.

Abstract: : A user-oriented system having both algebraic and associative processing capabilities is presented in this report. The algebraic capabilities are essentially those of ALGOL. The associative facilities are: (1) A language for the expression of associative retrieval requests (the associative language). (2) A scheme for the internal representation of a store of associations between items of information (an associative information base). (3) Processing routines for associative retrieval requests. The associative language is independent of the structure of the associative information base. In the system presented here, the associative information base is implemented via hash-coding techniques. The associative language is implemented by extending an existing ALGOL system. This report consists of three sections: Sec. I describes the high-level programming language for the overall system; Sec. II outlines the scheme for representing an associative information base; and Sec. III summarizes the processing routines for associative retrieval requests.
