Abstract

The present paper reports a novel scheme for designing fast retrieval memory system using cellular automata. In essence, the proposed scheme implements the concept of hashing in hardware. This makes possible the design of low-cost high-capacity memory systems with limited content addressability as an option. The efficiency of the scheme has been verified through extensive simulation studies of the hardwired hashing function built around 1D and 2D linear cellular automata (CA).
