Abstract

The main applications of computers today is working with large massive of data, where are all sorts of searches and sort the most labor-intensive operations. Existing computer systems used address memory architecture. In such an arrangement, to effect retrieval of data in the memory, it is necessary to make the reading of each memory module address and compare it with the search argument, resulting in finding the desired information in the memory takes a lot of computer time. This fact negatively affects the speed of a computer system as a whole. The paper considers the possibility of implementing a coprocessor module association on modern element base for specialized computer systems. The aim of this work is the development and research of associative co-processor module on PLDs, for specialized computing, for example, multi-processor, systems, performing associative function and data storage functions. The object of the development and research of this article is an associative co-processor based on PLD. In order to achieve the objectives used CAD Web pack ISE from Xilinx with the ability to create and simulate the operation of a device using the schematic editor, and in using VHDL language, which greatly facilitates the synthesis of projects for use on modern components - PLDs. Developed and debugged VHDL-code co-processor module association and its individual units. Functional and performance testing of devices tested in the CAD, obtained by the timing charts. The results of the study are obtained VHDL-code module of the associative co-processor, which is synthesized from broaching the file to configure the PLD.
