ABSTRACT:
Search apparatus is described for locating an item which satisfies a predetermined criterion e.g. an instruction ready for execution or a free block of data. The apparatus uses a tree structure where each terminal node represents one of the items and is set if that item satisfies the criterion. A non-terminal node is set if any of its subordinate nodes is set. In order to locate an item, a path is traced through the tree, starting at the root node and passing through a series of set nodes until a set terminal node is reached.
