    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms for metadata, which corresponds to cached data, to be selectively stored to a sequestered memory region. In an embodiment, integrated circuitry evaluates whether a line of a cache can accommodate a first representation of both the data and some corresponding metadata. Where the cache line can accommodate the first representation, said first representation is generated and stored to the line. Otherwise, a second representation of the data is generated and stored to a cache line, and the metadata is stored to a sequestered memory region that is external to the cache. The cache line include an indication as to whether the metadata is represented in the cache line, or is stored in the sequestered memory region. In another embodiment, a metric of utilization of the sequestered memory region is provided to software which determines whether a capacity of the sequestered memory region is to be modified.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to speed up Galois Counter Mode (GCM) computations are described. In one embodiment, a carry-less multiplication instruction may be used to perform operations corresponding to verification of an encrypted message in accordance with GCM. Other embodiments are also described.
