More Information
Summary:A method and apparatus are presented for processing a stream of information, including preprocessing the stream, which includes partitioning the stream into packets of interest; determining boundaries for the packets of interest, wherein a packet boundary is either a start location or an end location for a packet; and making a record of the packet boundaries by setting a hint bit in a hint bit vector, a location of the hint bit within the hint bit vector corresponding to a position of the packet in the stream. The hint bit vector is split into two or more vectors, where the hint bits are assigned to one of the vectors on an alternating basis. The packets of interest are processed corresponding to the hint bits assigned to each vector in parallel over multiple clock cycles, wherein an original order of the packets of interest is maintained in the stream.
