A CAM with mixed serial-parallel comparison for use in low energy caches.

A CAM with mixed serial-parallel comparison for use in low energy caches.

A novel, low-energy content addressable memory (CAM) structure is presented which achieves an approximately four-fold improvement in energy per access, compared to a standard parallel CAM, when used as tag storage for caches. It exploits the address patterns commonly found in application programs, w...
