Apparatus () is provided which is arranged to accept an input data stream. In some embodiments, the apparatus () comprises a sampler arranged to sample the input data stream to provide k samples thereof, wherein each of the samples is n bits long and a string selector arranged to select m binary strings n bits long from at least a chosen subset of all random binary strings of a predetermined length. The apparatus () may further comprise a logical operator arranged to perform a logical function for each of the k samples with each of the selected binary strings to provide a vector, a memory arranged to store a matrix of the vectors generated from k samples, and an address generator arranged to generate RAM address segments from the matrix. In embodiments, the apparatus () may comprise a processor for, for example, pattern matching; feature detection, image recognition.
