Submission + - More effective virus/SPAM scanning using GPUs (kaspersky.com)
gupg writes: Kaspersky Labs announced that they’re leveraging GPU computing (CUDA) with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs to dramatically improve the performance of their security software solutions by *360 times* when compared to a Core2 Duo. Now thats a big speedup! There are other previous works like ClamAV on GPU and SNORT on GPU.
Kaspersky Lab uses the NVIDIA Tesla S1070 1U GPU system to accelerate the screening of malicious programs using a unique file similarity detection technology. When the Kaspersky anti-virus software on a computer suspects that a file may be malicious, even though it may not match any known virus signatures, the software uploads this file to the Kaspersky Lab data center. The server software then compares the suspected file against more than 50 million known good files and programs. Using complex anti-virus and SPAM detection algorithms, Kaspersky’s server software identifies the risk level of the suspected file and informs the client computer on what kind of preventive action to take..
