  • Patent number: 7411418
    Abstract: The states associated with a programmable state machine are reordered to compress the storage of transitions which define the state machine. To reorder the states, a score is computed and assigned to each of the states. Next, the states are sorted according to their computed scores. In some embodiments, to compute the score for each current state based on the received input symbol, the number of times that the input symbol causes transition to similar states is added. The sum of the scores in each row of the table is representative of the score for the associated current state associated with that row. The states are sorted according to their score and a new state transition table is generated in accordance with the reordered states.

  • Patent number: 7301792
    Abstract: A programmable finite state machine (FSM) includes, in part, first and second memories, and a selection circuit coupled to each of the memories. Upon receiving a (k+m)-bit word representative of the k-bit input symbol and the m-bit current state, the first memory supplies one ore more matching transition rules stored therein. The selection circuit selects the most specific of the supplied rules. The transition rules are stored in the first memory in a ranking order of generality. The second memory receives the selected transition rule and supplies the next state of the FSM. The first memory may be a ternary content addressable memory and the second memory may be a static random access memory. The contents of both the content addressable memory and the static random memory is determined by an algorithm which minimizes the number of terms required to represent the next-state transition functions.

  • Patent number: 7180328
    Abstract: A programmable finite state machine (FSM) includes, in part, a first address calculation logic block, a first lookup table, a second address calculation logic block, and a second lookup table. The first address calculation logic block generates an address for the first lookup table based on the received input symbol and the current state. The data stored in first look-up table at the generated address is used by the second address calculation logic block to compute an address for the second lookup table. Data stored in the second lookup table is the next state to which the FSM transitions. The programmable FSMs uses redundant information of the transition table to compress these transitions and thus requires a smaller memory while maintaining a high data throughput. The data in the first and second lookup tables are coded and supplied by a compiler. The FSM operation may optionally be pipelined.

  • Publication number: 20070039051
    Abstract: A first security processing stage performs a first multitude of tasks and a second security processing stage performs a second multitude of tasks. The first and second multitude of tasks may include common tasks. The first security processing stage is a prefilter to the second security processing stage. The input data received as a data stream is first processed by the first security processing stage, which in response, generates one or more first processed data streams. The first processed data streams may be further processed by the second security processing stage or may bypass the second security processing stage. The first security processing stage operates at a speed greater than the speed of the second security processing stage.

  • Publication number: 20060193159
    Abstract: A pattern matching system includes, in part, a multitude of databases each configured to store and supply compressed data for matching to the received data. The system divides each data stream into a multitude of segments and optionally computes a data pattern from the data stream prior to the division into a multitude of segments. Segments of the data pattern are used to define an address for one or more memory tables. The memory tables are read such that the outputs of one or more memory tables are used to define the address of another memory table. If during any matching cycle, the data retrieved from any of the successively accessed memory tables include an identifier related to any or all previously accessed memory tables, a matched state is detected. A matched state contains information related to the memory location at which the match occurs as well as information related to the matched pattern, such as the match location in the input data stream.
