containing the components of a computer central processor, complete with instruction processing unit, arithmetic, interrupt , and basic communication facilities. Such devices have been around since the early 1970s and have greatly benefitted from the continuing

devices the techniques were tailored to gate networks of the type described above. The term gate was already in use in the forties to denote the logical elements discussed earlier. There are very many good references on Boolean algebra and we may quote only a selected few of them. Suffice it to mention the texts by Hill and Peterson [1974], Kohavi [1978], and Hohn [1966]. These books give
