A Parallel DFA Minimization Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we have considered the state minimization problem for Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA). An efficient parallel algorithm for solving the problem on an arbitrary CRCW PRAM has been proposed. For n number of states and k number of inputs in Σ of the DFA to be minimized, the algorithm runs in O(kn log n) time and uses O( n log n ) processors.

Description and analysis of a bottom-up DFA minimization algorithm
We establish linear-time reductions between the minimization of a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) and the conjunction of 3 subproblems: the minimization of a strongly connected DFA, the isomorphism problem for a set of strongly connected minimized DFAs, and the minimization of a connected DFA consisting in two strongly connected components, both of which are minimized. We apply this proced...
متن کاملThe Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of a Reentry Vehicle Using Parallel Genetic Algorithms
The purpose of this paper is to examine the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a reentry vehicle. In this paper, optimization of a RV based on, minimization of heat flux integral and minimization of axial force coefficient integral and maximization of static margin integral along reentry trajectory is carried out. The classic optimization methods are not applicable here due to the c...
متن کاملWeak Minimization of DFA - An Algorithm and Applications
DFA minimization is an important problem in algorithm design and is based on the notion of DFA equivalence: Two DFA’s are equivalent if and only if they accept the same set of strings. In this paper, we propose a new notion of DFA equivalence (that we call weak-equivalence): We say that two DFA’s are weakly equivalent if they both accept the same number of strings of length k for every k. The m...
متن کاملEfficient Design and Implementation of DFA Based Pattern Matching on Hardware
Pattern matching is a crucial task in several critical network services such as intrusion detection. In this paper we present an efficient implementation of the DFA with optimized area and optimized memory by the introduction of state minimization algorithm. By using minimized DFA the clock frequency reduces to 40% of the original and the area also reduces to 30%. This optimized architecture of...
متن کاملFinding the Minimal DFA of Very Large Finite State Automata with an Application to Token Passing Networks
Finite state automata (FSA) are ubiquitous in computer science. Two of the most important algorithms for FSA processing are the conversion of a non-deterministic finite automaton (NFA) to a deterministic finite automaton (DFA), and then the production of the unique minimal DFA for the original NFA. We exhibit a parallel disk-based algorithm that uses a cluster of 29 commodity computers to produ...
