BARCELONA, Spain and SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 25 — Procera Networks, Inc., the global intelligent policy enforcement company and Tilera Corporation, the leader in 64-bit TILE-Gx manycore general purpose processors, today announced they have achieved 200Gbps of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) performance deploying the Procera Network Application Visibility Library (NAVL) on TILExtreme-Gx Duo platform, utilizing approximately 70 percent of the TILE-Gx cores.
This industry-best performance addresses the growing requirements of telecommunications and enterprise security providers to implement application-aware policies to efficiently manage their networks without sacrificing user quality of experience (QoE). The solution can be deployed in a variety of networking scenarios including Network Security (IDS/IPS, DPI, DLP), Cyber Security, Network Monitoring, Data Forensics, Analytics and Big Data processing.
"With traffic volume and application types exploding in service provider and enterprise networks, there is a growing demand for high-throughput, accurate and real-time DPI to enable network optimization and tiered billing," said Jason Richards, senior vice president of business development for Procera Networks. "The accuracy and breadth of applications and protocols supported by the Procera NAVL DPI engine, coupled with the 200Gbps throughput we have achieved on the TILE-Gx, is the perfect solution to meet this rapidly growing and complex demand."
Tilera's TILExtreme-Gx Duo platform packs 288 cores with eight TILE-Gx36 processors in a compact 1U rack mountable device. The TILE-Gx manycore processor ranges from 9 cores to up to 72 cores, and is available in various form factors from half-length PCIe cards to 288 cores in a 1U chassis. This enables customers to choose 5Gbps, 10Gbps, 40Gbps, 100Gbps or 200Gbps DPI solutions depending on the overall solution requirements.
"We have once again shattered the record books by delivering the industry's highest performance per watt DPI solution with our TILE-Gx 64-bit processor," said Michael Zimmerman, vice president of marketing for Tilera Corporation. "Our focus on standard software programmability, maximizing performance per watt and scalability enabled us to deliver such high performance. Further, this solution utilizes about 70 percent of the available processing on the platform, leaving the rest for other functions -- such as billing, policy enforcement and end user customization."
Procera's NAVL is an easily integrated DPI engine, providing real-time, Layer-7 classification of network application traffic. NAVL enhances telecommunications providers' abilities to provide a variety of application-aware functions to ensure equitable access to resources by all users and to create tiered classes of service for billing. Procera's NAVL DPI engine and OEM products are the result of its recent acquisition of Vineyard Networks.
Tilera and Procera Networks will demonstrate these capabilities at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the Fira Gran Via, February 25-28, 2013 in hall 5 stand 5I10 and at RSA in San Francisco at the Moscone Convention Center, February 25-March 1, 2013 in booth #2739.

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.
