Subject: JtR on ARM (NEON)
Hi,
A schoolmate of mine got a ARM board in his lab and gave me access to it. It's some model of Nvidia Tegra, with 4-cores and NEON support, though I don't know which specific model it is.
So I just added NEON intrinsics to JtR's pseudo-intrinsics family, and see how it performs on this board. Here're some figures:
(OpenMP is disabled in this test. PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 failed somehow, so I chose sha512crypt here.)
[Without NEON]

[With NEON]

From the figures above, MD4 and MD5 get 2x speedup; SHA1 and SHA256 have no speedup; SHA512 gets a lot slower.
In my currently implementation, most pseudo-intrinsics are directly mapped to NEON intrinsics. The only exceptions are vcmov and vroti, which have to be emulated. But I don't think they're the excuses for the poor performance, since they're also emulated in a AVX build.
Thoughts?
