Abstract
A comparison function-equipped memory element includes: a memory circuit that stores comparison object data; a comparison circuit that compares the comparison object data held in the memory circuit with comparison data and outputs the comparison result; and a write circuit that writes the comparison object data into the memory circuit under control of a write control signal during write operation, and overwrites the comparison data into the memory circuit when a mask control signal indicates mask operation during comparison operation.
