Subject: [QUESTION - FYI] Vectorized CRC calculation
Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2005 19:38:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41ED49B3.1060200@tuleriit.ee> (raw)
Hi!
First, sorry about the so-so topic for the kernel developers...but still
there are such things inside :)
Currently I am investigating how "they" divide those polynomials and
which possibilities exists to use SIMD for such calculations. I have
found several papers about how to do it with Altivec and my question is:
does anybody knows about efforts to use Altivec for CRC calculations
here? Topic itself is quite old...
Or is there just any other ongoing developments which implements for
example permute/shuffle instructions (Altivec: vperm/SSE2: pshufd) for
table lookups?
One more question: is there PCI/PCIe cards (eg. router) which implements
Layer 3(-4) in hardware and which are possible to use as "hardware net
accelerator"?
thanks,
Indrek
