Abstract
A memory for storing a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for access by an application being executed by one or more processors of a computing device is described. The DAG includes a plurality of nodes, wherein each node represents a data point within the DAG. The DAG further includes a plurality of directional edges. Each directional edge connects a pair of the nodes and represents a covering-covered relationship between two nodes (a covering node and a covered node). Each node comprises a subgraph consisting of the respective node and all other nodes reachable via a covering path that comprises a sequence of covering and covered nodes. Nodes present in the subgraph that do not cover any other nodes are leaves of the subgraph. Each node comprises a set of node parameters including at least an identifier and an address range. Each node and the legal address specify a cover path.
