An overview of micron's automata processor

Published:01 October 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

Micron's new Automata Processor (AP) architecture exploits the very high and natural level of parallelism found in DRAM technologies to achieve native-hardware implementation of non-deterministic finite automata (NFAs). The use of DRAM technology to implement the NTA states provides high capacity and therefore provide extraordinary parallelism for pattern recognition. In this paper, we give an overview of AP's architecture, programming and applications.
