Abstract

The invention relates to a content addressing method based on a hash chain table and a corresponding storage circuit. The storage circuit includes a storage unit, a control unit, a register interface and a data search comparison interface. The content addressing method adopts the methods of hash, chain, multi-character parallel storage, comparison and the like, resolves the problem in the prior art of use limit caused by the fact that a special process or a device is adopted to achieve the content addressing storage and the problems of small content addressing search speed, large consumption resources, difficulty in content addressing search depth and width expansion and the like in a traditional design method, has the advantages of being high in generality, high in search speed, high in hardware utilization rate, easy to expand and the like, and is not limited by the chip process or a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to computer hardware technology, and relates to a method for realizing content addressing memory. Background technique [0002] Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is a special memory array. Its main working mechanism is to automatically compare an input data item with all data items stored in the CAM, and output the corresponding data item It has the characteristics of fast retrieval speed and flexible use, and is widely used in network communication and other fields. The existing technology is mainly realized by transistor-level fully customized circuit design, which has the advantage of fast retrieval speed, and the disadvantage of requiring special technology and high cost, which is not conducive to large-scale use; currently, circuits based on RTL design generally use serial, parallel, and dichotomous methods , hashing method and other design ideas, the designed circuit is either slow in retrieval speed or consumes too much res...
