crypto benchmark results with 2.6.0-test6

[Christian Kujau]

Hi,

i run a coule of tests with different crypto ciphers on 2.6.0-test6 
(i386). machine is a AMD TB 900Mhz, 512MB RAM, X is running, but no 
further load. more info soon on the website, but here the results:

(keybits=128, but really, more info soon.)

Thanks,

now here is a bit more information and the script i used to do the 
benchmarks:

Hi,

would you like to benchmark

http://clemens.endorphin.org/patches/aes-i586-asm-2.6.0-test5.diff

and

http://clemens.endorphin.org/twofish-i586/ (experimential) 

too? :)

Regards, Clemens

Sorry, took me a while to retest.

yes, i did so, results on:

uh, i guess this masm/windoze/elf32 stuff is too much for me, i could 
try, but don't have time to dig into this. but you could try my script, 
and run benchmarks on your machine too.
but: how is this twofish optimization supposed to go into mainline 
anyway? one had to use a special compiling environment to compile a kernel?

i set up these benchmarks for me too, because i needed to know what 
cipher is fast enough for my own use. usually i sticked to serpent, now 
aes-i586 looks quite good on this PC. i wonder if it will compile and so 
something on ppc32 too, but probably not. which is a pity, because my 
primary use of the cryptoloop is a ppc :-(

Thank you,
Christian.

Looks promising. But it's not going to be merged because of objections by
the cryptoapi maintainer.

It's not a patch, it's an add-on. I'm working on a gas version of the
assembler code so it can be merged, but it's far from being complete
(although it works).

Well that's the cost of an assembler implementation ;) it's not portable. 
Probably you can one of IBM's compilers to compile the cipher of your
choice. http://www-3.ibm.com/software/awdtools/ccompilers/ ... Rumours say
they're fast than gcc.
