1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a plurality of memory modules, each memory module from the plurality of memory modules being associated with an address translation table configured to store a plurality of address pairs, each address pair from the plurality of address pairs including (1) a physical memory address associated with a physical location in a memory module from the plurality of memory modules and (2) a logical memory address associated with the physical memory address;

    a reprogrammable circuit module configured to execute a search process based at least in part on data stored at the plurality of memory modules, the search process configured to retrieve a first physical memory address associated with a first logical memory address from an address translation table associated with a first memory module from the plurality of memory modules and a second physical memory address associated with a second logical memory address from an address translation table associated with a second memory module from the plurality of memory modules; and

    a plurality of data channels, each data channel from the plurality of data channels operably coupling the reprogrammable circuit module to at least one memory module from the plurality of memory modules, the reprogrammable circuit module configured to send, based on the search process, a first query to the first memory module via a first data channel from the plurality of data channels based on the first physical memory address and a second query to the second memory module via a second data channel from the plurality of data channels based on the second memory address.
