Compressed pattern matching
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Computer_science/lN3pEyPz">computer science</a>, compressed pattern matching (abbreviated as CPM) is the process of searching for patterns in compressed data with little or no decompression. Searching in a compressed string is faster than searching an uncompressed string and requires less space. </p>
