{"type":"ScholarlyArticle","title":"FLATS, A MACHINE FOR NUMERICAL, SYMBOLIC AND ASSOCIATIVE COMPUTING","authors":[],"abstract":"Functional aspects of a machine called FLATS, presently (June 1979) in the design stage, are described. FLATS aims to efficiently run both numerical and algebraic programs. Overflow free and variable precision arithmetic, table look-up computation, and associative computation based on single-hit content addressed tables are introduced for advanced numerical, algebraic and symbolic computing. Hashing hardware, tag mechanism and hardware list processing are used to realize these features.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/225","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/0225.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/225.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/bibtex/225","volume":{"slug":"1979","title":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1979","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1979/","year":1979,"location":"Tokyo, Japan","dates":"August 20-23, 1979","editors":"Bruce G.
