Kaspersky Lab utilizes NVIDIA CUDA technology for a 360x performance boost!
There was an interesting news release that went out today from Kaspersky Lab in Russia, a leading developer of secure content management solutions. Theyve announced that theyre leveraging CUDA with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs to dramatically improve the performance of their security software solutions by 360 times when compared to a Core2 Duo.
Kaspersky Lab uses the Tesla S1070 1U GPU system to accelerate the intellectual services that define the similarity of files. The similarity services enable the identification of new files and define which file, or file groups, most closely resemble the unknown program received by the Companys antivirus lab. The use of Tesla S1070 by the similarity-defining services has significantly boosted the rate of identification of unknown files, thus making for a quicker response to new threats and providing users with even faster and more complete protection. During internal testing, the Tesla S1070 demonstrated a 360-fold increase in the speed of the similarity-defining algorithm when compared to the popular Intel Core 2 Duo central processor running at a clock speed of 2.6 GHz.
