Until recently, using such content\u2010addressable\nmemories (CAMs) was unfeasible due to their high hardware cost. However, the advent of VLSI has made the\nclass of fully\u2010parallel associative memory cost\u2010effective for implementation. This paper briefly overviews design\nof several fully parallel associative memories proposed in the literature, concentrating on the design of fully\u2010parallel\n<jats:italic>\u03b8<\/jats:italic>\u2010search CAMs.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Existing market realities require that product development be fast and predictable. As a result, design flexibility\nand automation are becoming increasingly important design features. Using the various CAM designs reviewed,\nthe paper collects the features of these designs into a general, modular CAM organization and describes its major\ncomponents. The modular CAM organization can be used to design application specific CAMs of varying degrees\nof functionality. Design and space complexity of a sample associative memory suitable for relational database\noperations is studied. Finally, the application of genetic algorithms as a means to developing automated design\ntools for fabrication of modular VLSI design chips is discussed.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Given a library of CAM modules, the desired functionality and a set of speed and area constraints, this\noptimization technique produces a suitable CAM design. The proposed technique has been implemented and its\nperformance measure is briefly addressed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/1994\/83851","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,18]],"date-time":"2007-09-18T12:56:35Z","timestamp":1190120195000},"page":"267-286","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Modular Scheme for Designing Special PurposeAssociative Memories and Beyond"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"A.
