in this paper a particular case of z-ideals, called strongly z-ideal, is defined by introducing zero sets in pointfree topology. we study strongly z-ideals, their relation with z-ideals and the role of spatiality in this relation. for strongly z-ideals, we analyze prime ideals using the concept of zero sets. moreover, it is proven that the intersection of all zero sets of a prime ideal of c(l),...

Pattern-matching algorithms, which are essential to intrusion detection and virus scanning applications, typically only make limited use of the Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) capabilities available in new generations of general-purpose processors. This paper presents the initial results of a study to increase the SIMD exploitation by pattern-matching schemes consisting of a novel vecto...
