Examples include techniques four use of a large scale multi-literal matching algorithm. Implementation of the large scale multi-literal matching algorithm includes processing a chunk of input data via performance of a SHIFT-OR operation using the chunk of input data to identify a match candidate for a target literal character pattern. A single input multiple data (SIMD) instruction may be utilized by a processor to perform the SHIFT-OR operation as a parallel table lookup of rows of SHIFT-OR mask table for the chunk of input data to facilitate identification of the match candidate.

Techniques for use of a large scale multi-literal matching algorithm

Examples include techniques to encode and decode for character class matching. A character class including a plurality of characters may be encoded in a mask table. A sampled chunk of input data is used to perform a decode operation to check, in a parallel manner, each character included in the input data with the encoded mask table. The checking of each character in the input data to determine whether at least one character in the input data matches a character included in the character class.
