"A High-performance packet processing framework for heterogeneous processors" ([EuroSys 2015 paper](http://an.kaist.ac.kr/~sbmoon/paper/intl-conf/2015-eurosys-nba.pdf))

## Notice for paper readers

* The IDS source code is not available to the public, as it contains a derivation from industry-transferred code from [Kargus](http://shader.kaist.edu/kargus/).

  - You could refer to other open-source code, such as [a GPU implementation of the Aho-Corasick algorithm in Snap](https://github.com/wbsun/g4c/blob/master/g4c_ac.h).

* We used Intel DPDK v1.7 for the EuroSys 2015 paper, but have now upgraded to v16.04+.

## Main Features

* 80-Gbps packet processing with a modular programming interface similar to Click.

* GPU and Xeon Phi offloading to boost complex computations such as IPsec encryption

* Adaptive load balancing for CPU/accelerator to maximize the system throughput
