Random access memory (RAM) method of operation and device for search engine systems |
摘要 |
A search engine system (100) is disclosed that can include at least one content addressable memory (CAM) device (102) arranged in a cascade configuration with at least one memory device (104), such as a static random access memory (SRAM). A CAM device (102) and memory device (104) may be connected to one another by point-to-point unidirectional connections. Command data issued by a device, such as a network processing unit (NPU) (110), can flow through all devices beginning with a CAM device (102) and eventually to a memory device (104). A memory device (104) can compare its own current result data with that of a previous device in a flow (such as another RAM device), and generate an output response.
