Comparative Power Analysis of Precomputation Based Content Addressable Memory
Arun Arun · Journal of Computer Science · 2011
Problem statement: In this study we discus about Signature Detection Technique (SDT) used in Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS).Design of SDT using Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is discussed.Approach: Two novel architectures, XOR and ones count based Pre computation CAM architectures are proposed and implemented in third party back end tool with 0.18 mm technology, power consumptions are compared.Results: Proposed architecture consumes 90% less power added with 5.2% increment in speed.Conclusion: Power reduction was achieved by reducing the number of bit comparisons of pre computation technique.
