Depends what you mean by hardware. I'm pretty sure some special-purpose machines (Lisp and Prolog machines come to mind) had string searching in microcode. Some VLSI designs for string-searching hardware come up if you do a Google search (!) but I doubt if any have actually been exploited commercially. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
