1. An accelerated network security system comprising:

  • a network security engine comprising;

    an input module configured to receive input data and generate a first intermediate data in response;

    a core engine configured to perform a security function operation on the first intermediate data to generate a first output data; and

    an output module configured to receive the first output data and generate a processed output data in response; and

    a processing module configured to perform the security function, the processing module comprising;

    a plurality of processing cores configured to operate concurrently;

    a memory configured to store data associated with the plurality of processing cores, wherein the data stored in the memory includes processing core instructions and processing core data, wherein the processing core instructions control the execution of the plurality of processing cores to implement the security function; and

    a processing controller configured to periodically allocate to each processing core one or more discrete blocks of processing time, each processing of each portion of core data representing at least one execution thread, wherein the periodic allocation of processing time is performed according to a processing time allocation algorithm, wherein a number of processing core data is greater than a number of the plurality of processing cores.
