ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY SYSTEM, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY SYSTEM, AND DATA PROCESSOR

摘要

A V=0 preferential detecting section selects one empty entry based on information stored in a V-bit storage section when there is an empty entry at a CAM section. When write data for the CAM section is inputted, a GATE section performs writing control of the write data for an entry selected by the V=0 preferential detecting section. Consequently, an associative memory system for enhancing the processing rate of data registration can be provided.
