Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for associative computing for error correction are described. A device may receive first data representative of a first codeword of a size for error correction. The device may identify a set of content-addressable memory cells that stores data representative of a set of codewords each of which is the size of the first codeword. The device may identify second data representative of the first codeword in the set of content-addressable memory cells. Based on identifying the second data, the device may transmit an indication of a valid codeword that is mapped to the second data.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- storing data representative of a set of valid codewords in a set of content-addressable memory cells;
- receiving first data representative of a codeword of a size for error correction in accordance with storing the data representative of the set of valid codewords in the set of content-addressable memory cells;
- identifying the set of content-addressable memory cells that stores the data representative of the set of valid codewords each of which is the size of the codeword;
- storing, using the set of content-addressable memory cells, a first set of entries associated with a first table to perform an error correction operation based on identifying the set of content-addressable memory cells;
- storing, using the set of content-addressable memory cells, a second set of entries associated with a second table to perform the error correction operation based on storing the first set of entries;
- identifying second data in the set of content-addressable memory cells based on the first data;
- and
- transmitting an indication of a valid codeword that is mapped to the second data based on identifying the second data.

A method, comprising:
- storing data representative of a set of valid codewords in a set of content-addressable memory cells;
- receiving first data representative of a codeword of a size for error correction in accordance with storing the data representative of the set of valid codewords in the set of content-addressable memory cells;
- identifying the set of content-addressable memory cells based on receiving the first data;
- storing, using the set of content-addressable memory cells, a first set of entries associated with a first table to perform an error correction operation based on identifying the set of content-addressable memory cells;
- storing, using the set of content-addressable memory cells, a second set of entries associated with a second table to perform the error correction operation based on storing the first set of entries;
- determining whether a second codeword of a size for error correction is identified in the set of content-addressable memory cells based on the first data;
- and
- determining whether to transmit an indication of a valid codeword based on the second codeword.

- identifying the set of content-addressable memory cells based on receiving the first data;
- storing, using the set of content-addressable memory cells, a first set of entries associated with a first table to perform an error correction operation based on identifying the set of content-addressable memory cells;
- storing, using the set of content-addressable memory cells, a second set of entries associated with a second table to perform the error correction operation based on storing the first set of entries;
- determining whether a second set of sensed values for the set of memory cells is identified in the set of content-addressable memory cells;
- and
- determining whether to transmit an indication of a set of bit values based on the second set of sensed values.
