System-level exploration of association table implementations in telecom network applications

les to further raise the abstraction level of the initial specification, where dynamic data sets can be specified without low-level details. Our method is suited for hardware and software implementations. In this paper, it mainly aims at minimizing the average memory power, although it can also be driven by other cost functions such as memory size and performance. Compared with existing methods, for large dynamic data sets, it can save up to 90% of the average memory power, while still saving up to 80% of the average memory size.
