1. A method of enhancing a table lookup for a parallel computing environment, said method comprising: generating a plurality of flow exact patterns, based on an associated flow table, for grouping flows based on similar exact value fields; and utilizing a parallel flow selection, based on said plurality of flow exact patterns, for selecting a highest priority flow from said plurality of flow exact patterns; said flow exact patterns comprising the maximum combinations of said flows from said flow table, based on a binomial coefficient calculation, plus one additional entry; said binomial coefficient calculation being the number of field combinations of said flows, from said flow table, associated with said fields.
