Abstract
A method for an associative memory device includes replacing a set of three multi-bit binary numbers P, Q and R, stored in the associative memory device, with two multi-bit binary numbers X and Y, also stored in the associative memory device, wherein a sum of the binary numbers P, Q and R is equal to a sum of the binary numbers X and Y. A system includes an associative memory array having rows and columns and a multi-bit multiplier. Each column of the array stores two multi-bit binary numbers to be multiplied. The multi-bit multiplier multiplies, in parallel, the two multi-bit binary numbers per column by concurrently processing all bits of partial products generated by the multiplier. The multiplier performs the processing without any carry propagation delay when adding all but the last two partial products.
