Linux/AM5728: Evaluating the performance by using Crypto Hardware Accelerators

Part Number: AM5728


Tool/software: Linux

Hi Experts,

 

Customer is evaluating HTTP/HTTPS throughput by using libcurl now.

Compared with HTTP validation, in the case of the HTTPS evaluation, it seems performance is slow-down. Therefore, customer suppose that cryptographic processing is performed by only CPU. Customer would like to evaluate the throughput by using Crypto Hardware Accelerators

Could you share any advice/comments on this, please?

 

If you will be able to share any helpful URL information. It will be appreciated.

 

Best regards,

Miyazaki

  • Hi Miyazaki-san,

    The hw accelerated crypto algorithms are implemented in the kernel crypto framework in the same way as other kernel software crypto algs, so user space applications should be able to use hardware accelerated crypto algorithms via the Cryptodev engine.
