What Does CAM Stand For?
CAM stands for Content Addressable Memory
Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is a specialized type of computer memory that enables data retrieval based on content rather than specific memory addresses. In CAM, users can search for and access data using unique content attributes, providing significant advantages in speed and efficiency for applications such as database searching, networking, and pattern matching. CAM is particularly useful in high-performance computing environments where quick data lookup is essential.
