Abstract
A network device includes: a set of content memory banks including a first memory bank; a parity memory bank; a first memory interface; and a second memory interface. The first memory interface is configured to perform a write operation to write new content data to a location in a first content memory bank in a plurality of partial write operations that are spread over two or more clock cycles, including: generating new parity information for the new content data using old content data at the location in the first content memory bank, and storing the new parity information to the parity memory bank. The second memory interface is configured to perform a read operation at the location in the first content memory bank concurrently while the first memory interface is performing at least one of the plurality of partial write operations.
