Methods, apparatus, and other mechanisms are disclosed for merging lookup results, such as from one or more associative memory banks and/or memory devices. In one exemplary implementation, multiple associative memories or associative memory banks are configured to substantially simultaneously generate a plurality of lookup results based on a lookup value. Multiple memories are each configured to generate a corresponding result based on the lookup result generated by its corresponding associative memory or associative memory bank. A combiner is configured to receive and merge these corresponding results generated substantially simultaneously in order to identify the merged lookup result.
