This paper shows an implementation of a regular expression circuit based on an NFA~(Non-deterministic finite automaton).
Also, it shows that the NFA based one is superior to the DFA~(Deterministic finite automaton) based one, with respect to the area complexity and the time complexity.
A regular expression matching circuit is produced as follows:
First, the given regular expressions are converted into a non-deterministic finite automaton~(NFA).
Then, to reduce the number of states, the NFA is converted to a modular non-deterministic finite automaton~(MNFA(p)) with p-character-consuming transition.
Finally, a finite-input memory machine~(FIMM) to detect p-characters is generated, and the matching elements~(MEs) realizing the states for the MNFA(p) are generated.
We designed MNFA(p) for different p on Xilinx FPGA.
As for the performance per area, our method is 6.2-18.6 times better than the DFA-based methods, and is 1.8 times better than the NFA-based method.
Then, we derive an optimal value p that efficiently uses both LUTs and embedded memories of the FPGA. |
