meaning of container class
1. container class A class whose instances are collections of other objects. Examples include stacks, queues, lists and arrays. content addressable memory CAM, or "associative memory" A kind of storage device which includes comparison logic with each bit of storage. A data value is broadcast to all words of storage and compared with the values there. Words which match are flagged in some way. Subsequent operations can then work on flagged words, e. g. rea them out one at a time or write to certain bit positions in all of them. A CAM can thus operate as a data parallel SIMD processor. CAMs are often used in caches and memory management units.
