Robert Shelby Singleton (born March 25, 1933) is an American engineer, inventor, scientist, teacher of magnetics and computing. He invented magnetic core memory that was addressable by content rather than location, which is the precursor to modern content-addressable memory systems. He later contributed to the invention and development of virtual memory for computer systems, Computer Aided Design and Engineering systems, and complex signal processing algorithms and circuits.
