Abstract
A processor for traversing deterministic finite automata (DFA) graphs with incoming packet data in real-time. The processor includes at least one processor core and a DFA module operating asynchronous to the at least one processor core for traversing at least one DFA graph stored in a non-cache memory with packet data stored in a cache-coherent memory.
