    Abstract: In one aspect, techniques for providing a banked content addressable memory (CAM) with counters are provided. A dictionary word may be divided into a plurality of banks. A counter may be associated with each bank of the plurality of banks. The counter may count the number of times a segment of an input word aligned with the bank does not match. A scheduler may schedule comparison of banks with higher probability of not matching before banks with lower probability of not matching. The probability of not matching may be based on the counters.
