- Filippo Carloni, M.Sc. student in Computer Science and Engineering Expressions (REs) are widely used to find patterns among data, like in genomic markers research for DNA analysis, signature-based detection for network intrusion detection systems, or search engines. TiReX is a novel and efficient RE matching architecture for FPGAs, based on the concept of matching core. RE passes into the compilation and optimization phase to be efficiently translated into sequences of basic matching instructions that a matching core runs on input data, and can be replaced to change the RE to be matched.
