Subject: Re: RAR format finally proper
Thanks a lot for the link :)
Actually that's a lucky coincidence as I just got a Bulldozer CPU capable
of AES-NI yesterday :)
Haven't dug into the AES-NI part though, the first thing I did was doing
the optimized XOP codepaths.
Actually (I know that's offtopic) this CPU demonstrates some weird
behavior. With my SSE2 code, a 4-core Phenom II @3.2GHz is almost as fast
as the 6-core FX-6100 @3.3 GHz. At first that seemed strange, then I
implemented the XOP codepaths for MD5/MD4/SHA1 and then things look better
now, the _mm_roti_epi32/_mm_cmov_si128 optimizations lead to ~ 40%
improvement as compared to the SSE2 code (still worse than what I expected
though). Same for SHA1 and MD4. Then came the DES stuff. I decided to test
Alexander's s-boxes.
Well that was surprising. I used the ones for architectures supporting
bitselect instructions that should have much less gates than the original
Matthew Kwan s-boxes I used until now. Yet, I got the same speeds. hashkill
and jtr are similar in design as far as the bitslice DES part is concerned,
the biggest difference being the way keys are set up. I guess I'd spend
some more days investigating that before I continue with AES-NI stuff for
rar...
