Abstract
An association memory which permits the execution of all kinds of comparative operations. The associative memory includes a memory map (1) in which a search argument, which has been processed in a scanning module (3) and a masking unit (5,7), is compared to the data stored in the memory. After this comparison, the data obtained is recorded in a response register (11). When the search data and the stored data supply an association of variable length words, the result data is processed in a module for the processing of variable-length words (13) and in a multiple-response management module.
