Fast and Scalable Pattern Matching for Network Intrusion Detection Systems

High-speed packet content inspection and filtering devices rely on a fast multi-pattern matching algorithm which is used to detect predefined keywords or signatures in the packets. Multi-pattern matching is known to require intensive memory accesses and is often a performance bottleneck. Hence specialized hardware-accelerated algorithms are required for line-speed packet...

Semi-Oblivious Routing: Lower Bounds

This paper initiates the study of semi-oblivious routing; a relaxation of oblivious routing which is first introduced by Racke and led to many subsequent improvements and applications. In semi-oblivious routing like oblivious routing, the algorithm should select only a polynomial number of paths between the source and the sink of...

Statistical Static Timing Analysis Technology

With CMOS technology scaling down to the nanometer realm, process variations have been increased. In particular, the increase of delay variations has seriously affected the design periods and timing yields. To estimate more accurately these delay variations, Statistical Static Timing Analysis SSTA, which considers delay variations statistically, has been proposed....
