Abstract
Nodes of a per-pattern NFA may be stored amongst one or more of a plurality of memories based on a node distribution determined as a function of hierarchical levels mapped to the plurality of memories and per-pattern NFA storage allocation settings configured for the hierarchical levels. At least one processor may be configured to cache one or more nodes of the per-pattern NFA in the node cache based on a cache miss of a given node of the one or more nodes and a hierarchical node transaction size associated with a given hierarchical level mapped to a given memory in which the given node is stored, optimizing run time performance of the walk.
