1. A hardware finite automata manager, comprising: a service manager; and an engine manager configured to be in communication with the service manager, wherein the service manager is effective to: identify at least one executable instruction associated with a particular core of a multi-core processor, wherein the engine manager is effective to: determine that a hardware finite automaton is available, wherein the hardware finite automaton is configured to perform a network processing task, wherein the hardware finite automaton includes a plurality of shift registers and a plurality of logic gates; in response to the determination that the hardware finite automaton is available, select at least one program instruction based on a pre-fetch hardware finite automata design, wherein the pre-fetch hardware finite automata design is selected based on the at least one executable instruction, and wherein the at least one program instruction is configured to instruct the hardware finite automaton to pre-fetch data for the particular core; and transmit the at least one program instruction to the hardware finite automaton, wherein the transmission of the at least one program instruction includes programming the hardware finite automaton to pre-fetch the data for the particular core, before the at least one executable instruction is executed by the particular core, and wherein selecting the at least one program instruction includes: identifying executable instructions associated with a particular core of the multi-core processor; determining that the hardware finite automaton is available, wherein the hardware finite automaton is configured to perform a network processing task, and wherein the hardware finite automaton includes a plurality of shift registers and a plurality of logic gates; in response to the determination that the hardware finite automaton is available, selecting at least one program instruction based on a pre-fetch hardware finite automata design, wherein the pre-fetch hardware finite automata design is selected based on the executable instructions, and wherein the at least one program instruction is configured to instruct the hardware finite automaton to pre-fetch data for the particular core; and transmitting the at least one program instruction to the hardware finite automaton, wherein transmitting the at least one program instruction includes programming the hardware finite automaton to pre-fetch the data for the particular core, before the executable instructions are executed by the particular core, to reduce latency for the particular core to wait for the data.
