In this paper, as one of these efforts for making the intelligent data mining system we propose the Associative frame of the memory according to the following three steps. First,the structured frame for performing the main brain function should be made. In this frame, the concepts of learning memory and episode memory are considered. Second,the learning mechanism for data acquisition and storing mechanism in the memory frame are provided. The obtained data are arranged and stored in the memory following the rules of the structured memory frame. Third, it is the last step of processing the inference and knowledge retrieval function using the stored knowledge in the associative memory frame. This system is applied to the area for estimating the purchasing degree from the type of customer's tastes, the pattern of commodities and the evaluation of a company.

We describe a volume holographic associative memory using photorefractive material and conventional planar mirror. Multiple hologram is generated with two angular multiplexed writing beams and Fourier transformed object beam in Ba Ti O3 crystal at 0.6328 um. Complete image can be recalled successfully by partial input of the original stored image without any additional thresholding and optical feedback process. It is proved that our system is useful for optical implementation of real-time associative memory and location addressable memory.

Currently, NAND Flash memory has been widely used in consumer storage devices due to its non-volatility, stability, economical feasibility, low power usage, durability, and high density. However, a high capacity of NAND flash memory causes the high power consumption and the low performance. In the convention memory research, a hierarchical filter mechanism can archive an effective performance improvement in terms of the power consumption. In order to attain the best filter structure for NAND flash memory, we selected a direct-mapped filter, a victim filter, a fully associative filter and a 4-way set associative filter for comparison in the performance analysis. According to the results of the simulation, the fully associative filter buffer with a 128byte fetching size can obtain the bet performance compared to another filter structures, and it can reduce the energy*delay product(EDP) by about 93% compared to the conventional NAND Flash memory.

Associative and bidirectional associative memories are examples of associative structures studied intensively in the literature. The underlying idea is to realize associative mapping so that the recall processes (one-directional and bidirectional ones) are realized with minimal recall errors. Associative and fuzzy associative memories have been studied in numerous areas yielding efficient applications for image recall and enhancements and fuzzy controllers, which can be regarded as one-directional associative memories. In this study, we revisit and augment the concept of associative memories by offering some new design insights where the corresponding mappings are realized on the basis of a related collection of landmarks (prototypes) over which an associative mapping becomes spanned. In light of the bidirectional character of mappings, we have developed an augmentation of the existing fuzzy clustering (fuzzy c-means, FCM) in the form of a so-called collaborative fuzzy clustering. Here, an interaction in the formation of prototypes is optimized so that the bidirectional recall errors can be minimized. Furthermore, we generalized the mapping into its granular version in which numeric prototypes that are formed through the clustering process are made granular so that the quality of the recall can be quantified. We propose several scenarios in which the allocation of information granularity is aimed at the optimization of the characteristics of recalled results (information granules) that are quantified in terms of coverage and specificity. We also introduce various architectural augmentations of the associative structures.

A new associative memory model using the SDF filter, one of the multiple filter for pattern recognition, is suggested in this paper. The SDF filter characteristics such as pattern classification lets the memorized patterns have orthogonal characteristics one another, so that enhances the associative memory's retrieval ability to the original pattern. The computer simulation shows that this new model is very useful in case that the imput patterns are seriously distorted and the cross-correlation between the memorized patterns is very high.

본 논문은 GBAM (general bidirectional associative memory) 모델을 위한 새로운 설계방법을 제시한다. GBAM 모델에 대한 이론적 고찰을 바탕으로, GBAM 기방 양방향 연상 메모리의 설계 문제가 GEVP (generalized eigenvalue problem)로 불리는 최적화 문제로 표현될 수 있음을 밝힌다. 설계 과정에서 등장하는 GEVP 문제들은 최근에 개발된 내부점 방법에 의하여 주어진 허용 오차 이내에서 효과적으로 풀릴 수 있으므로, 본 논문에서 확립된 설계 절차는 매우 실용적이다. 제안된 설계 절차에 대한 적용 가능성은 관련 연구에서 고려되었던 간단한 설계 예제를 통하여 예시된다.

In this paper, we proposed a partial-way set associative cache memory with an effective memory access time and low energy consumption. In the proposed set-associative cache memory, it is allowed to access only a 2-ways among 4-way at a time. Choosing ways to be accessed is made dynamically via the least significant two bits of the tag. The chosen 2 ways are sequentially accessed by the way selection bits that indicate the most recently referred way. Therefore, each entry in the way has an additional bit, that is, the way selection bit. In addition, instead of the 4-way LRU or FIFO algorithm, we can utilize a simple 2-way replacement policy. Simulation results show that the energy*delay product can be reduced by about 78%, 14%, 39%, and 15% compared with a 4-way set associative cache, a sequential-way cache, a way-tracking cache, and a way cache respectively.

일반 컴퓨터에서 중앙처리장치와 메모리 사이의 병목현상인 "Von Neumann Bottleneck"을 보이는데 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해소하고 검색위주의 응용분야에서 우수한 성능을 보이는 Content-addressable memory(CAM) 기반의 확장 가능한 범용 Associative Processor(AP) 구조를 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 Associative computing을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 명령어 세트를 제안하였으며 다양하고 대용량 응용분야에도 적용할 수 있도록 구조를 확장 가능하게 설계함으로써 유연한 구조를 갖는다. 12 가지의 명령어가 정의되었으며 프로그램이 효율적으로 수행될 수 있도록 명령어 셋을 구성하고 연속된 명령어를 하나의 명령어로 구현함으로써 처리시간을 단축하였다. 제안된 프로세서는 bit-serial, word-parallel로 동작하며 대용량 병렬 SIMD 구조를 갖는 32 비트 범용 병렬 프로세서로 동작한다. 포괄적인 검증을 위하여 명령어 단위의 검증 뿐 아니라 최대/최소 검색, 이상/이하 검색, 병렬 덧셈 등의 기본적인 병렬 알고리즘을 검증하였으며 알고리즘은 처리 데이터의 개수와는 무관한 상수의 복잡도 O(k)를 갖으며 데이터의 비트 수만큼의 이터레이션을 갖는다.

Neurodegeneration can result in memory loss in the central nervous system (CNS) and impairment of taste and smell in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The neurodegeneration seen in Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by functional loss of dopaminergic neurons. Recent studies have also found a role for dopaminergic neurons in regulating taste memory rewards in insects. To investigate how taste memories and sugar sensitivity can be affected in PD, we utilized the $DJ-1{\beta}$ mutant fruit fly, $DJ-1{\beta}^{ex54}$, as a PD model. We performed binary choice feeding assays, electrophysiology and taste-mediated memory tests to explore the function of the $DJ-1{\beta}$ gene in terms of sugar sensitivity as well as associative taste memory. We found that PD flies exhibited an impaired ability to discriminate sucrose across a range of sugar concentrations, with normal responses at only very high concentrations of sugar. They also showed an impairment in associative taste memory. We highlight that the taste impairment and memory defect in $DJ-1{\beta}^{ex54}$ can be recovered by the expression of wild-type $DJ-1{\beta}$ gene in the dopaminergic neurons. We also emphasized the role of dopaminergic neurons in restoring taste memory function. This impaired memory property of $DJ-1{\beta}^{ex54}$ flies also allows them to be used as a model system for finding supplementary dietary foods that can improve memory function. Here we provide evidence that the associative taste memory of both control and $DJ-1{\beta}^{ex54}$ flies can be enhanced with dietary supplementation of the medicinal plant, omija.
