ABSTRACT:
The toroidal computer memory system utilizes toroidal memory paths in its chitecture to enable memory locations along those paths to be obtained in a single access, as compared to multiple accesses typically required by conventional linear computer memory. The storage/retrievable media is designed to replicate paths on the surface of a torus. By defining certain parameters and the mathematical properties of these memory paths in the electronics of a controller, points on the memory paths can be accessed from the storage/retrieval media more efficiently than conventional computer memory.
