Associative machine
An associative machine is a freely programmable machine composed of associative memories. In contrast to a Von Neumann computer , an associative machine is not built around an arithmetic unit , but consists essentially of associative units. These association units ensure, among other things, that a program line is associated with its successor, that processes can be controlled with association chains and that data can be queried in a fault-tolerant manner.
If associative matrices are used as associative memory, the associative machine receives its properties of immunity to interference and fault tolerance, which enables it as a machine for pattern recognition , pattern completion and pattern extraction.
