+ \item VectorScan is a high-performance multiple regex match library.
+ Used in intrusion detection systems for real-time pattern search.
+ \item A fork/replacement of HyperScan, fully compatible, VectorScan
+ provides a level of abstraction that makes it easier to port
+ to other architectures.
+ \vspace{10pt}
+ \item Project goal: to port key algorithms in VectorScan to SVP64
+ with a view to estimated power reduction, simplicity and
+ potential performance increases.
+ \item Also a key additional goal is to validate SVP64 as a High-performance
+ High-level Assembly ISA, and to see if any crucial adaptations
+ or alterations are required.
