Abstract
Various implementations of a method, system, and computer program product for pattern matching using a reconfigurable array processor are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor array manager of the reconfigurable array processor receives an input data stream for pattern matching and generates a tokenized input data stream from the input data stream. A different portion of the tokenized input data stream is provided to each of a plurality of processing elements of the reconfigurable array processor. Each processing element can compare the received portion of the tokenized input data stream against one or more reference patterns to generate an intermediate result that indicates whether the portion of the tokenized input data stream matches a reference pattern. The processor array manager can combine the intermediate results received from each processing element to yield a final result that indicates whether the input data stream includes a reference pattern.
