Sun´s 3rd generation on-chip UltraSPARC security accelerator

RF continues UltraSPARC CMT tradition of providing on-chip accelerators RF includes Sun´s 3rd generation on-chip security accelerator RF´s accelerator introduces > Additional ciphers, chaining modes and secure hashes > Non-priv fast-path to accelerators Fast-path eliminates vast majority of overheads associated with offloads > Allows direct interaction between non-priv applications and the accelerators > Improves small object performance by up to 30X RF provides additional non-priv crypto instructions to help accelerate authenticated-encryption operations RF builds on the successes of the UltraSPARC T2 and significantly expands the application space which can benefit from the accelerators.
