Overview

Computational study reveals GPU-accelerated membrane systems detect network anomalies with up to 0.95 F1 score, highlighting the viability of bio-inspired parallel intrusion detection.

Key Points

To formalize and evaluate a biologically inspired membrane computing model implemented on graphics processors for detecting and classifying volumetric network traffic anomalies.
Formalized a parallel Membrane System (P System) to classify volumetric anomalies, focusing specifically on Elephant Flow, DDoS, and Super-Spreader traffic patterns.
Implemented the computational architecture on both GPU using CUDA and standard CPU architectures to benchmark processing speedups.
Evaluated anomaly detection accuracy and classification performance against real-world packet-switched network traffic traces.
The membrane computing model achieved an F1 score of up to 0.95 for Elephant Flow and Super-Spreader anomaly detection, but attained a lower F1 score of 0.71 for DDoS detection.
GPU-based parallel implementation achieved an approximate 50-fold runtime speedup compared to CPU-based execution.
