Name
Silicon::Chip::Btree - Implement a B-Tree as a silicon chip.
Synopsis
Description
Implement a B-Tree as a silicon chip.
Version 20231101.
The following sections describe the methods in each functional area of this module. For an alphabetic listing of all methods by name see Index.
Btree Node
A node in a B-Tree containing keys, data and links to other nodes. Nodes only produce output when their preset id is present on their enable bus. This makes it possible for one node to select another node for further processing of the key being sought.
newBtreeNodeCompare ($chip, $id, $output, $enable, $find, $keys, $data, $next, $top, $N, $B, %options)
Create a new B-Tree node. The node is activated only when its preset id appears on its enable bus otherwise it produces zeroes regardless of its inputs.
Parameter Description
1 $chip Chip
2 $id Numeric id of this node
3 $output Output name
4 $enable Enable bus
5 $find Key to find
6 $keys Keys to search
7 $data Data corresponding to keys
8 $next Next links
9 $top Top next link
10 $N Maximum number of keys in a node
11 $B Size of key in bits
12 %options OptionsExample:
if (1)
{my $B = 3; my $N = 3; my $id = 5;
my $c = Silicon::Chip::newChip;
$c->inputBits ("enable", $B); # Enable - the node only operates if this value matches its preset id

$c->inputWords("keys", $N, $B); # Keys to search
$c->inputWords("data", $N, $B); # Data associated with each key
$c->inputWords("next", $N, $B); # Next node associated with each key
$c->inputBits ("top", $B); # Top next node
