A Two-Tier Bloom Filter to Achieve Faster Membership Testing

Published

Author(s)

Abstract

Testing for element membership in a Bloom Filter requires hashing of a test element (e.g., a string) and multiple look-ups in memory. A design of a new two-tier Bloom filter with on-chip hash functions and cache is described. For elements with a heavy-tailed distribution for popularity, membership testing time can be significantly reduced.
