Abstract:
1. A circuit comprising: one or more ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) arrays comprising one or more matchlines configured to model a neural network, wherein each of the one or more TCAM arrays models a connected group of neurons such that input search data into the one or more matchlines is modeled as neuron dendrite information, and output from the one or more matchlines is modeled as neuron axon information; one or more additional bits included within each of the one or more matchlines that are configured to model connectivity strength between each neuron dendrite and axon; and a real-time learning block included within each of the one or more TCAM arrays configured to modify the connectivity strength between each neuron dendrite and axon using wild-cards written and stored in the one or more additional bits.
