Abstract

This paper presents a tool for automatic synthesis of highly efficient intrusion detection systems using a high-level, graph-based partitioning methodology, and tree-based lookahead architectures. Intrusion detection for network security is a compute-intensive application demanding high system performance. This tool automates the creation of efficient FPGA architectures using system-level optimizations, a relatively unexplored field in this area. The pre-design tool allows for more efficient communication and extensive reuse of hardware components for dramatic increases in area-time performance. The tool is available online for public use.
