Abstract

A data driven processing system includes a mechanism for generating a data pair from a sequential input data stream by matching identifier fields. The pairing mechanism comprises a hash memory in which input data words to be paired are stored by using hashed addresses. If a hash collision occurs, the data word which caused the hash collision is transmitted to a counter-directional data loop which is used to generate a data pair. If an input data word is not paired after one pass through the data loop it is returned to the hash memory for another pairing operation. Use of both the hash memory and the counter-directional data loop reduces the required hash memory size and increases processing efficiency.
