Abstract
Apparatus, methods, and other embodiments associated with blocklet pattern identification are described. One example method includes accessing a blocklet produced by a computerized data de-duplication parsing process before providing the blocklet to a duplicate blocklet determiner. The example method also includes hashing a portion of the blocklet to produce a pattern indicating hash and then identifying the blocklet as a pattern blocklet if the pattern indicating hash matches a pre-determined pattern indicating hash. To improve efficiency in a data de-duplication process, the blocklet pattern identifying may be performed independently from a data structure and process used by the duplicate blocklet determiner. If the blocklet is a pattern blocklet, then the method includes selectively controlling the duplicate blocklet determiner to not process the pattern blocklet. The duplicate determination is not needed because a pattern determination has already been made.
