Abstract: A cell processor and memory-managed computer system using the same includes a processor module for interacting with a memory module. Within the memory module a plurality of groups of information are stored. Each group includes a data sector for storing a word, a vector sector for storing a vector word that links that group with at least one other group, and a function sector. The function sector includes an operation field for storing an operation word that indicates the operation to be performed by the processor module on the data word and a state field for storing a state word that represents the condition of that group for processing. When enabled by the memory module, the processor module processes a group of information designated by the memory module as ready for processing. It also selectively processes at least one of the words of the designated group.
