Patent number: 8935270Abstract: A content search system for determining whether an input string matches one or more of a number of patterns embodied by a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) includes a plurality of DFA engines that simultaneously compare sequential overlapping segments of the input string. The overlap region shared by adjacent pairs of input string segments is of a predetermined size. Initially, the first DFA engine is designated as the master engine, and the remaining DFA engines are designated as slave engines whose state results are speculative. Resolution logic compares the state results of the master engine with the state results of the adjacent slave engine to selectively validate the state results of the successor engine, which upon validation becomes the new master engine.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2010Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Netlogic Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Cristian Estan, Greg Watson

Patent number: 8862603Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for determining whether an input string of characters matches a pattern. The pattern has the form of an activator expression, a counter expression, and a tail. The method involves monitoring one or more active states associated with the pattern, and comparing each character to the activator expression and the counter expression for each of the one or more active states. An input character match to the activator expression comprises an activator match, and a character match to the counter expression without matching the activator expression comprises a non-activator match. The number of one or more active states corresponds to the number of non-activator to activator character transitions between adjacent received matching characters.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Netlogic Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Greg Watson, Kumaravel Senniappan

Patent number: 8812480Abstract: A content search system for determining whether an input string matches one or more rules includes a parser, a rules database, and a search engine. The parser, which has an input to receive the input string, is to extract one or more selected portions of the input string to form a filtered input string, and is to generate a rule select signal in response to the selected portions of the input string. The rules database stores a plurality of sets of rules. The search engine is to compare the filtered input string with a selected set of rules selected in response to the rule select signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventors: Greg Watson, Cristian Estan, Mark Birman, Alexei Starovoitov

Patent number: 8700593Abstract: A content search system includes multiple pipelined search engines that implement different portions of a regular expression search operations. For some embodiments, the search pipeline includes a DFA engine, an NFA engine, and a token stitcher that combines partial match results generated by the DFA and NFA engines in a manner that prevents either engine from becoming a bottleneck. In addition, the token stitcher can be configured to implement unbounded sub-expressions without utilizing resources of the DFA or NFA engines.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Netlogic Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Cristian Estan, Greg Watson

Publication number: 20140015664Abstract: A child car seat system that alarms a guardian of a child that the child has accidently been left in the child car seat. The system comprises of a child car seat that has seat belt that is wired to a transmitter, the seat belt has a first terminal and second terminal locking latch, when the first terminal and second terminal locking latches are latched to each other, a closed electrical loop is formed and a first signal is transmitted from the transmitter, when the first and second terminal locking latches are unlatched, a second signal is transmitted from the transmitter. The system further comprises of a receiver, the receiver defines at least one alarm that warns the user of the system that a child has been left in the child car seat, the receiver activates when it receives the first signal and deactivated when it receives the second signal, the receiver has a sensor that will activate the alarm if the receiver is moved a certain distance away from transmitter when the receiver is activated.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2012Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventor: Greg Watson

Patent number: 8516456Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that compiles a sub-expression associated with an inexact pattern contained in a regular expression into a plurality of microprogram instructions that can be stored in contiguous locations of an instruction memory. At least one of the microprogram instructions includes a next instruction address and a fetch length value, where the next instruction address indicates the instruction memory address of the next instruction to be executed and the fetch length value indicates the number of sequentially-executed instructions that are to be fetched from contiguous locations of the instruction memory.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2010Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: NetLogic Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Alexei Starovoitov, Greg Watson

Patent number: 8369121Abstract: The power consumption of a search engine such as a CAM device is dynamically adjusted to prevent performance degradation and/or damage resulting from overheating. For some embodiments, the CAM device is continuously sampled to generate sampling signals indicating the number of active states and number of compare operations performed during each sampling period. The sampling signals are accumulated to generate an estimated device power profile, which is compared with reference values corresponding to predetermined power levels to generate a dynamic power control signal indicating predicted increases in the device's operating temperature resulting from its power consumption. The dynamic power control signal is then used to selectively reduce the input data rate of the CAM device, thereby reducing power consumption and allowing the device to cool.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: NetLogic Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Carl Gyllenhammer, Greg Watson, Venkat Gaddam, Varadarajan Srinivasan, Sandeep Khanna, Chetan Deshpande
