AUTOMATED METHOD AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE FOR MEMORIZING, RECALLING AND NON-VOLATILE MEMBERSHIP OF MESSAGES VERSUS LABELS AND VICE VERSA WITH MAXIMUM REALITY

摘要

Method and device for nonvolatile automated associative memory capable of storing, detecting, and nonvolatile retrieval of message / label associations and vice versa with maximum likelihood. The associative memory (10) consists mainly of n memory subunits CAM (1 to n) of size 2v.wb, a CAM memory subunit (2) of size 2v.vb, a counting unit. (3) v bits and a maximum likelihood selection unit (4). An incoming message (MEin_i) consists of n sub-messages (RSin_1 to n) connected at the input of the memory subunits (1_1 to n). The content of each selected memory sub-unit is evaluated by the unit (4) which controls the address of the sub-memory unit (2) which outputs the label (Lout_i), and vice versa. The method and device according to the invention applies in the field of neuroscience as a neuromorphic process integrated in electronics.
