Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to initiate transmission of a stream of data; and
a state machine engine coupled to the processor, wherein the state machine engine comprises:
an input configured to receive the stream of data;
blocks coupled to the input, each block of the blocks comprising rows, each row of the rows comprising configurable elements, each configurable element of the configurable elements configured to analyze at least a portion of the stream of data and to selectively provide a result therefrom;
a programming interface coupled to the blocks and configured to receive programming instructions separate from the stream of data received at the input and initially configure the configurable elements based on the programming instructions; and
block activation logic corresponding to a block of the blocks, wherein the block activation logic is configured to dynamically power-up the block, wherein the block activation logic comprises a register initially configured based on the programming instructions from the programming interface, wherein the register is configured to provide a first signal based on the programming instructions from the programming interface as an indication that data at a start of the stream of data is to be analyzed in the block.
