Patent ID: 10867647

Abstract:
A marching memory includes an alternating periodic array of odd-numbered columns (U1, U2, . . . , Un−1, Un) and even-numbered columns (Ur1, Ur2, . . . , Urn−1, Urn). Each of the odd-numbered columns (U1, U2, . . . , Un−1, Un) has a sequence of front-stage cells aligned along a column direction so as to store a set of moving information of byte size or word size. And each of the even-numbered columns (Ur1, Ur2, . . . , Urn−1, Urn) has a sequence of rear-stage cells aligned along a column direction so as to store the set of moving information, so that the set of moving information can be transferred synchronously, step by step, along a direction orthogonal to the column direction.
