- dang 11y agoAnybody want to figure out the year of this?
- FreeFull 11y agoThe "modified" date is Thu 27 Jan 2005 06:52:54 GMT, so it's at least that old.
- andrewf 11y agoParent page http://perl.plover.com/classes/cftalk/ http://perl.plover.com/classes/cftalk/ says 1972. Cited at http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lat7h/blog/posts/7.html http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lat7h/blog/posts/7.html as well.
- dang 11y agoThanks! 1972 added. Looks like it was an appendix to HAKMEM.

- n00b101 11y ago> "If it is possible to make very long parallel adders, it should be possible to make a high-precision, ultrahigh speed arithmetic processor based on continued logarithms. It would be an extremely parallel device consisting entirely of registers and having no static memory." Did anything ever come of this idea?
