MMC to collaborate with Lara on network-processing solutions

While the companies have no immediate plans to combine MMC's network processors with Lara's SuperCAM engines — which are based on content-addressable memories — into single-chip solutions, Lara's new ternary memories will be co-marketed with MMC's network processors to provide more efficient look-up table architectures for policy-based networking requiring multiple parallel searches of Internet Protocol packet headers, the companies said.
