Disclosed herein is an improved architecture for regular expression pattern matching. Improvements to pattern matching deterministic finite automatons (DFAs) that are described by the inventors include a pipelining strategy that pushes state-dependent feedback to a final pipeline stage to thereby enhance...http://www.google.de/patents/US7702629?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7702629 - Method and device for high performance regular expression pattern matching
