Abstract

An accelerated network security system includes, in part, a network security engine and a processing module configured to perform network security functions. The network security engine includes an input module configured to receive input data and generate an intermediate data in response, a core engine configured to perform security function operations on the first intermediate data to generate a first output data, and an output module configured to receive the first output data and generate a processed output data in response. The processing module includes a multitude of processing cores configured to operate concurrently, a memory configured to store processing core instructions and processing core data associated with the multitude of processing cores, and a processing controller configured to periodically allocate to each processing core one or more discrete blocks of processing time. The number of processing core data is greater than the number of processing cores.
