Abstract

This article states the need of High Performance Computing (HPC) for Distributed Intrusion Detection Systems (DIDS) and discusses the design requirements of the system. Since high-speed networks are the performance key in HPC, the article studies the mapping of the different requirements over the software and hardware features of high-speed networks. The study has resulted in several recommendation for the design of IDS over HSN, starting from the communication protocol and the programming model that should be adopted, to the way the system should handle the communication flow, the memory management and the data transfer between IDS sensors.
