Abstract:
Network functions are being virtualized and moved to industry
standard servers. Steady growth of traffic volume requires more
compute power to process the network functions. Network packet based
architecture provides a lot of scope for parallel processing. Generic
parallel processing can be done in common multicore platforms like
GPUs, coprocessors like Intel Xeon Phi[6][7] and Intel[7]/AMD[10]
multicore CPUs. In this draft to check the feasibility and to exploit
this parallel processing capability, multi string matching is taken
as the sample network function for URL filtering. Aho-Corasick
algorithm has been made use for multi pattern matching.
Implementation utilizes OpenCL [3] to support many common
platforms[7][10][11]. A list of optimizations is done, the
application is tested on Nvidia Tesla K10 GPUs. A common API for NFV
Compute Acceleration has been proposed.
