Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8801411A1] A content-addressable memory system (62) for connection to a host computer (60) having a host memory (66, 68) storing a plurality of records and a host processor bus (72), the memory system (62) comprising: an index memory unit (74) for storing a bit map matrix representative of records stored in the host computer (60), the memory unit (74) being, in use, connected to the host processor bus (72) and addressable by the host computer (60); an index processor (76) for accessing bit maps stored in the memory unit (74) and performing bit map operations on bit maps, the index processor (76) being, in use, connected to the host processor bus (72) and controlled by the host computer (60); and a memory system bus (78) connected between the index memory unit (74) and the index processor (76), the bus (78) being adapted to pass bit maps between the memory unit (74) and the processor (76).
