摘要
Multi-string matching (MSM) is a core technique searching a text string for all occurrences of some string patterns. It is widely used in many applications. However, as the number of string patterns increases, most of the existing algorithms su r er from two issues: the long matching time, and the high memory consumption. To address these issues, in this paper, a fast matching engine is proposed for large-scale string matching problems. Our engine includes a filter module and a verification module. The filter module is based on several bitmaps which are responsible for quickly filtering out the invalid positions in the text, while for each potential matched position, the verification module confirms true pattern occurrence. In particular, we design a compact data structure called Adaptive Matching Tree (AMT) for the verification module, in which each tree node only saves some pattern fragments of the whole pattern set and the inner structure of each tree node is chosen adaptively according to the features of the corresponding pattern fragments. This makes the engine time and space efficient. The experiments indicate that, our matching engine performs better than the compared algorithms, especially for large pattern sets.
