Abstract
A computing system processes data units using one of at least two different modes of applying a rule. In a first mode, data units are received in a particular order and are processed including writing an updated value to at least one state variable based on a result of applying the rule to the data unit. In a second mode, a selection of particular data units is processed including determining a first set of data units including an ordered subset of data units that occur before the particular data unit from the number of data units, prior to applying the rule to the particular data unit, updating at least one state variable to a state that would result from processing the first set of data units in the first mode, and applying the rule to the particular data unit including reading the updated value of the state variable.
