Design Contest Overview: Combined Architecture for Network Stream Categorization and Intrusion Detection (CANSCID)

摘要

This year's MEMOCODE Design Contest challenged teams to implement the architecture for a unique type of Deep Packet Inspector called CANSCID. This type of architectural challenge represents a new direction for the contest, as previous years had focused on the acceleration of algorithmic specifications such as matrix multiplication. Despite such a challenging problem domain the contest received 8 submissions, 6 using FPGAs and 2 using GP-GPUs. This exceeds the total of all FPGA-based submissions from all previous years of the contest combined. In this paper we describe this year's unique problem statement, and our motivation for choosing it. This paper is followed by short descriptions prepared by individual teams detailing their particular approach to solving the problem.
