Abstract

A comparison of priority queues on four different types of computer memories are made by ring a model to determine the total time to do comparable tasks. The four types of memories compared are random access (RAM), associate (AM), hybrid consisting of an associate memory and a random access memory (AM/RAM), and the hybrid memory with an auxiliary memory having the @@@@pability to perform Lewin's Associate algorithm @@@@], (AM/RAM/AML). The model used for the comparisons is an extension of the MIX model developed by Knuth [1]. The MIX model was extended to include the four types of memories and the instruction set expanded include @@@@ instructions for the memories added. This @@del allows direct comparisons to be made of the different architectures and different software algorithms in performing the same tasks.
