Developing Library of Internet Protocol suite on CUDA Platform

Abstract

Presently, Computational power of Graphics processing Units (GPUs) has turned them into an attractive platform for general purpose application at significant speed using CUDA. CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model which has the ability to deliver high performance in parallel applications. In networking world protocol parsing is very complex due to bit wise operation. We need to parse packet at each stage of network to support packet classification and protocol implementation. Conventional CPU with fewer cores is not sufficient to do such packet parsing. For this purpose, we are choosing to build a networking library for protocol parsing, by this way we can offload compute intensive protocol parsing task on CUDA enable GPUs which can optimize usage of CPU and improve system performance.
