Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include a method performed by a bank aware mtrie control module for distributing a plurality of mtrie levels across a plurality of memory banks. The bank aware mtrie control module identifies the plurality of memory banks present and identifies one or more mtrie blocks in one or more mtrie levels, each mtrie block is an array of mtrie nodes associated with an mtrie level. The bank aware mtrie control module stores each mtrie block in one of the plurality of memory banks, all mtrie nodes in a given mtrie block are stored in the same memory bank. For each subsequent mtrie level, the bank aware mtrie control module ensures that each of the mtrie blocks in that mtrie level is stored in one of the plurality of memory banks other than the memory bank storing mtrie blocks of an immediately previous mtrie level.
