  • Reconfigurable content-addressable memory
    Patent number: 7889530
    Abstract: A system for determining memory addresses including a first content-addressable memory (CAM) configured to generate a first matchvector based on a first key; a first inverse-mask-reverse (IMR) module operatively connected to the first CAM, where the first IMR module is configured to generate a first auxiliary matchvector based on the first matchvector; and a first priority encoder (PE) operatively connected to the first IMR module, where the first PE is configured to output a first encoded memory address based on the first auxiliary matchvector, where the first CAM, the first IMR module, and the first PE are associated with a first reconfigurable content-addressable memory (RCAM).
