Claim 7:
8. A system for pre-comparing data in a compare content addressable memory (“CAM”) device having one or more comparators in a computing environment, comprising one or more computers with executable instructions that when executing cause the system to:
compare a first compare input and a second compare input of a column in a compare content addressable memory (“CAM”) device;
generate a pre-compare signal based on comparing the first compare input and the second compare input;
compare a first polarity of the first compare input with a first polarity of a storage node data;
generate a compare output of the first compare input based on a logic state of the pre-compare signal; and
generate a first compare match based on the compare output and a second compare match based on the pre-compare signal.
