storing instructions in a memory;
operating the memory as an associative memory, wherein the memory comprises a content addressable memory (CAM) and wherein the instructions are identified by nodes of a tree of a memory graph; and
performing the instructions by the computation engine:
executing a first instruction of the instructions that is identified by a first node;
based on the first node comprising a branch to multiple nodes and based on the memory graph identifying a second node of the multiple nodes as a next branch node, selecting the second node of the multiple nodes as the next branch node;
based on the first node comprising the branch to multiple nodes and the memory graph identifying a third node of the multiple nodes as the next branch node, selecting the third node of the multiple nodes as the next branch node; and
executing a second instruction of the instructions identified by the next branch node.
