FUZZY MATCHING FOR COMPUTING RESOURCES

Abstract:

Systems and methods are disclosed for normalizing strings to identify computing resources and improve performance and utilization of computing resources. For example, methods may include determining a comparison length based on lengths of strings in a set of strings; padding a first string from the set of strings to the comparison length to obtain a padded string; receiving a second string; determining a distance between the second string and the padded string; and identifying a match between the first string and the second string based on the distance.
