An implementation of an algorithm for string matching, commonly used in DNA string analysis, using configurable technology is proposed. The design of the circuit allows for pipelining to provide a performance increase. The proposal is unique in that we suggest a design that is specific to certain parameters of the problem, but may be reused for any particular instance of the problem that matches these parameters. The use of a Field Programmable Gate Array allows the implementation to be instance specific, thus ensuring maximal usage of the hardware. Analysis and preliminary results based on a prototype implementation are presented.
