Abstract:
A device performs lookup functions for a semantic processing unit. The device comprises a plurality of interface circuits for receiving data operation requests from the semantic processing unit. The device comprises a buffer for allocating an interface circuit to a semantic processing unit having a data operation request. A selection circuit, coupled between the plurality of interface circuits and a memory unit, selects an allocated circuit for accessing the memory unit to process the data operation request.
