Searching Regular Expressions With Virtualized Massively Parallel Programmable Hardware

Abstract: Logic and state information suitable for execution on a programmable hardware device may be generated from a task, such as evaluating a regular expression against a corpus. Hardware capacity requirements of the logic and state information on the programmable hardware device may be estimated. Once estimated, a plurality of the logic and state information generated from a plurality of tasks may be distributed into sets such that the logic and state information of each set fits within the hardware capacity of the programmable hardware device. The tasks within each set may be configured to execute in parallel on the programmable hardware device. Sets may then be executed in series, permitting virtualization of the resources.
