Zusammenfassung: | The invention provides a method and apparatus for searching for data in a memory. The memory includes at least two storage areas, each storage area includes at least two storage blocks, and storage blocks in each storage area are corresponding to each other. The method includes: determining whether a hit storage block that matches with data to be searched for exists in a current storage area; and if it is determined that the hit storage block exists, searching for a storage block corresponding to the hit storage block in a next storage area, so as to determine whether a hit storage block further exists. Accordingly, a storage block corresponding to a missed storage block may execute no operation, thus reducing power consumption. |
