Multithreaded Sliding Window Approach to Improve Exact Pattern Matching Algorithms

Author 1: Ala’a Al-shdaifat Author 2: Basam Hammo Author 3: Mohammad Abushariah Author 4: Esra’a Alshdaifat

In this paper an efficient pattern matching ap-proach, based on a multithreading sliding window technique, is proposed to improve the efficiency of the common sequential exact pattern matching algorithms including: (i) Brute Force, (ii) Knuth-Morris-Pratt and (iii) Boyer-Moore. The idea is to divide the text under-search into blocks, each block… Read full abstract & cite →
