Topic:

Index Generation Functions:  Logic Synthesis for Pattern Matching

 

Date :

10:10 - 12:00 08-March-2016

Place :

525 Delta Building

Host:

Prof.  Chun-Yao Wang

Abstract

High-speed pattern matching is implemented with conventional memories. Using the concept of index generation function,

the total amount of memory is reduced. Applications to network router, terminal access controller, and computer virus scanner are shown.

The outline of the talk is as follows: 

1) definition of index generation functions;

2) reduction of the number of variables for incompletely specified index generation functions; 

3) statistical property of index generation functions; 

4)linear decomposition of index generation functions;

5) index generation unit (IGU);

6) applications;

7) Extension to multi-valued cases; 

8) current projects.
