TECHNIQUES TO ENCODE AND DECODE FOR CHARACTER CLASS MATCHING

Abstract:

Examples include techniques to encode and decode for character class matching. A character class including a plurality of characters may be encoded in a mask table. A sampled chunk of input data is used to perform a decode operation to check, in a parallel manner, each character included in the input data with the encoded mask table. The checking of each character in the input data to determine whether at least one character in the input data matches a character included in the character class.
