Abstract
A system and method for processing glyph-based data associated with generating very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI) designs. A system is provide that includes a serialization system for converting an input region of glyph design data into a pseudo-string; and a pattern searching system that identifies matching patterns in the glyph design data by analyzing pseudo-strings generated by the serialization system. Pattern searching may include, e.g., predefined pattern searching and redundant pattern searching.
