ABSTRACT:
A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process includes a content addressable memory (CAM) device having an array of memory cells arranged in rows in a word line direction and columns arranged in a bit line direction, and compare circuitry configured to compare data presented to the array with data stored in each row and column of the array, and simultaneously indicate match results on each row and column of the array, thereby resulting in a two-dimensional, matrix-based data comparison operation.
