  • Patent number: 10372563
    Abstract: Disclosed are an analyzing system for managing an information storage table and a control method thereof. That is, each of the physical basic regions, which are units of hashing an information storage position, is divided into a plurality of physical sub regions having same size. Then, a combination of virtual basic regions which satisfy a predetermined target value is checked from all configurable combinations and a hash value related with the combination of the virtual basic regions which satisfies the checked target value is stored in a predetermined region of a memory. Therefore, even though an information storage space required for every unit region is overloaded, when there is an extra information storage space in another region, the information storage space having an extra space is used to maximize efficiency of the information storage space.
