Abstract
Comparators may be associated with dictionary entries. In one aspect, a dictionary entry may store a dictionary word. A register may store an input word. A comparator associated with the dictionary entry may compare the dictionary word and the input word. The comparison may be a bit by bit comparison. The comparator may output a signal indicating if the dictionary word is less than the input word, equal to the input word, or greater than the input word. The output may indicate indeterminate when the comparison is not yet complete.
