Problems solved by technology

Compared with the general SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory), the current TCAM is more expensive per bit, and the capacity of the memory chip is relatively smaller; in addition, because TCAM uses a parallel matching comparison method, so TCAM chip consumes a lot of power

Abstract

The invention relates to a TCAM storage and search method and system based on an SRAM, and the method comprises the steps: respectively carrying out segmentation processing on a W-bit Data and a W-bit Mask which are input into an address to be stored, and obtaining n data sub-blocks with the length of w bits and n Mask sub-blocks with the length of w bits; combining the sub Data blocks and the sub Mask blocks in pairs to obtain n first entries with the length of 2w bits; respectively obtaining the number of 0 in the low w bits in each first entry; encoding each first entry to obtain n second entries with the length of 2w bits; and storing the second entries in the SRAM in a bitwise manner respectively. By using the SRAM, the cost and the searching power consumption can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of memory, in particular to a method and system for storing and searching TCAM based on SRAM. Background technique [0002] At present, with the continuous increase of network bandwidth, the requirements for the forwarding speed of routers are also getting higher and higher. At present, the more popular method is to use TCAM (ternary content addressable memory, ternary content addressable memory) devices for fast route lookup. Compared with the general SRAM (Static Random-Access Memory), the current TCAM is more expensive per bit, and the capacity of the memory chip is relatively smaller; in addition, because TCAM uses a parallel matching comparison method, so The power consumption of the TCAM chip is large. Contents of the invention [0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a method and system for storing and searching TCAM based on SRAM, which reduces cost and power consumption. [000...
