METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING AN ASSOCIATIVE MEMORY BASED ON A DIGITAL TRIE STRUCTURE

摘要

A kind of method of the present invention is for realizing memory. It includes that tree-like hierarchy has node in several different stages that memory, which is implemented as bibliographic structure, wherein individual node may is that (I) trie tree node includes array, wherein lower node tree-like hierarchy of the individual element containing address and wherein discrete component be also possible to it is empty, the number of element corresponds to power in array, or (II) bucket includes at least one element, so that this kind of individual element is within the scope of the allowable error of hit selected from including data cell, the pointer of data storage cell is directed toward another bibliographic structure and another bibliographic structure. Optimize the occupancy and storage efficiency of memory space, trie nodes are maintained at bibliographic structure (1), therefore in trie node, empty element number be less than or equal to half quantity element the node or element be directed to other trie nodes be greater than fourth element number destination node, node in trie (2) address is directed toward the element less than or equal to half quantity of other trie nodes in the node, wherein being replicated when condition (1) is faise nodes to cutting away half and work as invalid (2) node of condition. The present invention also relates in a kind of structure, blade is not used.
