Abstract

Disclosed is an architecture, system and method for performing multi-thread DFA descents on a single input stream. An executer performs DFA transitions from a plurality of threads each starting at a different point in an input stream. A plurality of executers may operate in parallel to each other and a plurality of thread contexts operate concurrently within each executer to maintain the context of each thread which is state transitioning. A scheduler in each executer arbitrates instructions for the thread into an at least one pipeline where the instructions are executed. Tokens may be output from each of the plurality of executers to a token processor which sorts and filters the tokens into dispatch order.
