Subject: Re: bitslice DES on AVX
It turned out that Intel's AVX emulator is trivial to install and use,
and it works great under Owl (I had to "rpm -i" an i686 build of glibc
onto my x86_64 Owl userland, though). So I am testing this myself now -
just not the performance aspect.

It did fail self-tests, both with and without "a" and "b" swapped - so I
must have got something else wrong.

Changing DES_BS to 1 has helped - self-tests pass now, with 256-bit AVX
vectors, although the performance is awful (which is OK since I am using
an emulator).

Now I need to figure out how to make DES_BS 3 work.
Tests on real hardware (with DES_BS set to 1 for now) will help.
Thanks,
Alexander
