Hardware acceleration</A>
</H2>
    ClamAV 0.90 comes with support for Sensory Networks' NodalCore
    acceleration technology. Thanks to specialized Security Processing Unit
    built into NodalCore C-Series accelerators it is possible to achieve more
    performance than is possible by just adding general purpose CPUs.
    Additionally, Sensory Networks' CorePAKT technology ensures that compiled
    signature databases occupy a memory footprint smaller than any other
    competing technology on the market - in many cases by up to 90%. The
    ability to store multiple databases in compressed format whilst still
    achieving high throughputs makes NodalCore ideal for applications
    demanding high performance on large signature databases such as ClamAV.
