METHOD OF SEARCHING THROUGH TERNARY CONTENT ADDRESSABLE MEMORY (TCAM) AND SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

Present disclosure relates to a method and a system for searching through a Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM). The system comprises a Digital Light Processing System (DLP) receiving an input query. The DLP comprises a 2-Dimensional array of digital micro mirrors configured for reflecting light from one or more input sources in the TCAM to a predefined position. The system further comprises a detection screen having a detection area. The detection area is configured for generating an image of a resultant pixel according to the reflection of the light, wherein the resultant pixel corresponds to a search result for an input query.
