A method and apparatus to perform Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) operations on a data block using a plurality of different n-bit polynomials is provided. A flexible CRC instruction performs a CRC operation using a programmable n-bit polynomial. The n-bit polynomial is provided to the CRC instruction by storing the n-bit polynomial in one of two operands.

An embodiment may include circuitry to execute, at least in part, a first list of instructions and/or to concurrently process, at least in part, first and second buffers. The execution of the first list of instructions may result, at least in part, from invocation of a first function call. The first list of instructions may include at least one portion of a second list of instructions interleaved, at least in part, with at least one other portion of a third list of instructions. The portions may be concurrently carried out, at least in part, by one or more sets of execution units of the circuitry. The second and third lists of instructions may implement, at least in part, respective algorithms that are amenable to being invoked by separate respective function calls. The concurrent processing may involve, at least in part, complementary algorithms.

A method of one aspect may include receiving a rotate instruction. The rotate instruction may indicate a source operand and a rotate amount. A result may be stored in a destination operand indicated by the rotate instruction. The result may have the source operand rotated by the rotate amount. Execution of the rotate instruction may complete without reading a carry flag.

A method in one aspect may include receiving a multiply instruction. The multiply instruction may indicate a first source operand and a second source operand. A product of the first and second source operands may be stored in one or more destination operands indicated by the multiply instruction. Execution of the multiply instruction may complete without writing a carry flag. Other methods are also disclosed, as are apparatus, systems, and instructions on machine-readable medium.

The present disclosure provides a system and method for performing modular exponentiation. The method includes loading a first word of a vector from memory into a first register and subsequently loading the first word from the first register to a second register. The method may also include loading a second word into the first register and loading at least one bit from the second register into an arithmetic logic unit. The method may further include performing modular exponentiation on the at least one bit to generate a result and generating a public key based upon, at least in part, the result. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

The present disclosure provides a method for generating RAID syndromes. In one embodiment the method may include loading a first data byte of a first disk block and a first data byte of a second disk block from a storage device to an arithmetic logic unit. The method may further include XORing the first data byte of the first disk block and the first data byte of the second disk block to generate a first result and storing the first result in a results buffer. The method may also include iteratively repeating, loading intermediate data bytes corresponding to the first disk block and intermediate data bytes corresponding to the second disk block from the storage device to the arithmetic logic unit. The method may additionally include XORing the intermediate data bytes corresponding to the first disk block and the intermediate data bytes corresponding to the second disk block to generate intermediate results and generating a RAID syndrome based on, at least in part, the intermediate results. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

A method and apparatus is described for processing of network data packets by a network processor having cipher processing cores and authentication processing cores which operate on data within the network data packets, in order to provide a one-pass ciphering and authentication processing of the network data packets.
摘要:
A method of processing network data in a network processor includes using three or more threads to process a beginning portion, a middle portion, and an end portion of data packet is presented. The first thread processes the beginning portion; one or more middle threads process the middle portion, and a last thread processes the end portion. First information is indirectly passed from the first thread to the last thread via a first buffer with the middle threads progressively updating the first information. Second information is directly passed from the first thread to the last thread via a second buffer.
