Scalability

To take advantage of all of the resources available on modern processors, an application must be able to operate on multiple cores simultaneously. HyperScan is often deployed in scenarios where many streams of data are being scanned against the same pattern database, and it has been designed to operate as efficiently as possible in this configuration.

These performance results were generated on an Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 family platform with 16 cores, using a variety of signature sets and traffic mixes. More information on this test case is available under Performance.
