Abstract
Pattern matching in a plurality of interconnected processing engines includes: accepting a stream of input sequences over an interface and storing the input sequences; storing instructions for matching an input sequence to one or more patterns in memory accessible by a first set of one or more processing engines, and storing instructions for matching an input sequence to one or more patterns in memory accessible by a second set of one or more processing engines; distributing information identifying selected input sequences to the first and second sets of processing engines; and retrieving the identified input sequences to perform pattern matching in the first and second sets of processing engines.
