Abstract

Parallel pattern matching on a mesh-connected array of processors is considered. The problem is to find all occurrences of a pattern in a text. The input text is a string of n symbols placed in a √n×√n mesh, each processor storing one symbol. The pattern is stored similarly in a contiguous portion of the mesh. An algorithm solving the problem in time O(√n) is presented. It applies a novel technique to design parallel pattern-matching algorithms based on the notion of a pseudo-period.
