This year we received 8 submissions for our Deep Packet Inspection problem. 6 submissions used FPGAs, and 2 used GP-GPUs. The organizers find it significant that no team submitted a software-only solution that did not use some kind of hardware accelerator— an indication that software alone could not meet the required line rate. This year the contest ended in a tie. Congratulations to the joint winners, Team Sasao Lab and Team Limenators, each having implemented 140 patterns while maintaining line rate. Additionally, Team Sasao Lab was the only team to use an NFA approach rather than DFAs for matching the regular expressions. Full results are given in Table II. The performance of the two winners was verified by the organizers using undisclosed test inputs. The performance of the other teams is self-reported.
