Approximate String Matching on the DADO2 Parallel Computer

Mori, Toshikatsu; Stolfo, Salvatore

This paper presents an approximate string matching algorithm on the 1023-processor parallel computer DADO2. To allow proximity in matching between the text and search pattern, the dynamic programming method is used as the matching algorithm. This paper includes timing measurements and comparison with a conventional sequential computer (VAX). The results show significant speedup over the sequential computer.
