Abstract: Apparatus identifies a set of M output memory addresses from a larger set of N input memory addresses containing at least one non-unique memory address. A comparator block performs comparisons of memory addresses from a set of N input memory addresses to generate a binary classification dataset that identifies a subset of addresses from the set of input addresses, where each address in the subset identified by the binary classification dataset is unique within that subset. Combination logic units receive a predetermined selection of bits of the binary classification dataset and sort its received predetermined selection of bits into an intermediary binary string in which the bits are ordered into a first group identifying addresses belonging to the identified subset, and a second group identifying addresses not belonging to the identified subset.
