Eager Recirculating Memory to Alleviate the Von Neumann Bottleneck

This paper presents an examination of channel based time delays and their application as units which perform storage and computation. We describe the implementation of compound arithmetic operations, and show that by re-circulating the impulses along a channel, both memory and computation can be achieved on the same general channel unit. In addition, this approach has the further advantage of performing arithmetic simplification eagerly, so that the resultant use of memory is optimised by the intermediate processing during memory circulation phases.
