چکیده
Ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs) perform high-speed lookup operation but when compared with static random access memories (SRAMs), TCAMs have certain limitations such as low storage density, relatively slow access time, low scalability, complex circuitry, and are very expensive. Thus, can we use the benefits of SRAM by configuring it (with additional logic) to enable it to behave like TCAM? This brief proposes a novel memory architecture, named Z-TCAM, which emulates the TCAM functionality with SRAM. Z-TCAM logically partitions the classical TCAM table along columns and rows into hybrid TCAM subtables, which are then processed to map on their corresponding memory blocks.

FPGA Based Architecture for High Performance SRAM Based TCAM for Search Operations
Ternary Content Addressable memory is a type of memory that allows the memory to be searched by content rather than by address. It performs high speed lookup operations within a single clock cycle. But when compared to RAM technology the conventional TCAM circuitry has certain limitations such as low access time, low storage capacity, circuit complexity and high cost. So we can use the benefits...

But this paper proposes novel memory architecture of existing Z-TCAM, but with...
متن کاملHigh Performance and Energy Efficient SRAM-based Architecture for TCAM
Content addressable memory (CAM) is a type of solid-state memory in which data is provided as input and an operation is performed to returns the address as output. Unlike other memories (SRAM, DRAM), it performs the search operation in parallel on complete location at once, offered significant reduction in searching time. A ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) is a specialized CAM design f...

Ternary content addressable memories (TCAMs) perform high-speed search operation in a deterministic time. However, when compared with static random access memories (SRAMs), TCAMs suffer from certain limitations such as lowstorage density, relatively slow access time, low scalability, complex circuitry, and higher cost. One fundamental question is that can we utilize SRAM to combine it with addi...

Packet classification is the core mechanism that enables many networking services such as packet filtering and traffic accounting. Using Ternary Content Addressable Memories (TCAMs) to perform high-speed packet classification has become the de facto standard in industry because TCAMs can facilitate constant time classification by comparing a packet with all rules of ternary encoding in parallel...
