Title:
METHOD AND CHIP STRUCTURE FOR MATCHING MULTI-CHARACTER STRING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2008/141519
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for matching multi-character strings based on a cache state machine as well as a chip structure for matching multi-character strings are disclosed, wherein the chip structure is realized by a method and structure for searching a next state. The method for matching multi-character strings searches the next state in a state transformation rule database based on input characters, a current state and cached states then jumps, and caches the state by specific cache rules. In the chip structure for matching multi-character strings, a main memory which includes basic transformation rules and n step cross transformation rules and an input translation table are shared by two paths of a state register, a color register and a state cache, a color cache, so as to calculate the possible next state and acquire corresponding input characters. An auxiliary memory, which stores fail and restart transformation rules, is used to acquire the next state corresponding to the actual input and updates the state cache and the color cache. Tri-state selector implements multi-way selection of the next state based on the actually input character and the character corresponding to the possible next state, so as to update the state registers and color registers.
