WEBINAR
Offloading firewall to a GPU
Many virtualized network solution providers know that nowadays unwanted traffic filtering requires more computing power than ever, especially in case of DDOS attacks.
We’ve prepared this webinar to show how you can increase the ACL efficiency with offloading to a GPU while saving CPU power for other tasks.
If you are interested in the below aspects, you should definitely fill out the form and join us during this event:
- How to effectively filter unwanted traffic with a large ACL.
- How to lower CPU usage levels.
- How to offload ACL processing to a common GPU and save CPU resources in the process.
During the webinar, we'll present our solution that enables offloading above tasks to a GPU card. Thanks to that, you can use freed CPU resources for other tasks such as customers’ applications.
Agenda
- Challenge review
At the beginning of the webinar, our experts will discuss the problem of the overall computational complexity of packet processing. They’ll explain why this is so computationally demanding and how you can manage it with offloading.
- Solution presentation
Our experts will show our solution for ACL offloading. They’ll explain how we perform packet processing on a GPU.
- Performance results comparison
Finally, we’ll present and discuss the achieved results.
- Q&A
In the final part of the webinar, there will be a slot for your questions. Don’t hesitate to ask – our lecturers are willing to address any doubts.
