Usual memories allow addressing of individual word lines with each word line containing an assemblage of bits. Bit detectors which can sense all words are utilized to read the word contents. Associative memories allow bit lines to be addressed, as well as word lines, to determine which set of words match the input bit states. Such memories are useful because they eliminate time consuming word hunting in table look up operations, and because they allow easy access to specific words highlighted by activity or flag bits.
