Abstract

NAND-based content addressable memory is provided with a memory cell including two programmable resistive elements, such as memristors. These memory cells can be used to provide a programmable resistive address decoder. Such decoders can improve computer hardware performance in various ways: 1) improved translation lookaside buffers, 2) improved cache memory, and 3) by eliminating physical addresses entirely.
