FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: device has a matrix having m rows and n columns of elements of a homogeneous medium, n blocks for counting units, a unit for finding the maximum, an adder, a memory unit, a lower-bound estimate search unit having a pulse generator, a multiplexer for selecting an element, a decoder for selecting a row, a decoder for selecting a column, a row counter, a column counter, an element counter, a matrix of (i, j) (i=1, 2,…m, j=1, 2,…,n) counters of fixed modules, a matrix of (i, j) (i=1, 2,…m, j=1, 2,…,n) D flip-flop, a matrix of (i, j) AND elements (i= 1, 2,…m, j=1, 2,…,n).
EFFECT: wider range of using the device owing to introduction of lower-bound estimate search devices in systems with matrix structure on the criterion for minimising intensity of interaction of processes and data.
