  • Publication number: 20170351737
    Abstract: Methods and systems operate to receive a plurality of search requests for searching a database in a memory system. The search requests can be stored in a FIFO queue and searches can be subsequently generated for each search request. The resulting plurality of searches can be executed substantially in parallel on the database. A respective indication is transmitted to a requesting host when either each respective search is complete or each respective search has generated search results.
