Abstract
A method and circuit arrangement selectively perform regular expression matching in connection with accessing data with a processing unit based upon one or more regular expression matching-related attributes stored in a memory address translation data structure such as an Effective To Real Translation (ERAT) or Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB). A regular expression matching-related attribute in such a data structure may be used to control whether data being communicated between the processing unit and a communications bus is routed through an expression engine integrated with the processing unit such that regular expression matching may be performed in association with the data communication.
