Intel Skylake review
نویسنده
چکیده
The Skylake Xeon (called Xeon Scalable processor) introduced a number of innovations, notably AVX-512 vectorization instructions capable of 8-wide double precision vectors (previous AVX2 had 4-wide DP vectors). This change in itself has a potential of doubling performance of floating point codes. Other changes include CPU core optimizations, rearchitecture of the caches, and new, mesh-based topology of the cores, which allows for higher bandwidth and lower latency between the cores. All is well described in Tom's Hardware article, http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-xeon-platinum-8176-scalable-cpu,5120.html

Snort Intrusion Detection System with Intel Software Guard Extension (Intel SGX)
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) promises the benefits of reduced infrastructure, personnel, and management costs by outsourcing network middleboxes to the public or private cloud. Unfortunately, running network functions in the cloud entails security challenges, especially for complex stateful services. In this paper, we describe our experiences with hardening the king of middleboxes - In...
متن کاملA Novel Hybrid Quicksort Algorithm Vectorized using AVX-512 on Intel Skylake
The modern CPU’s design, which is composed of hierarchical memory and SIMD/vectorization capability, governs the potential for algorithms to be transformed into efficient implementations. The release of the AVX-512 changed things radically, and motivated us to search for an efficient sorting algorithm that can take advantage of it. In this paper, we describe the best strategy we have found, whi...
متن کاملEfficient Design Strategies Based on the AES Round Function
We show several constructions based on the AES round function that can be used as building blocks for MACs and authenticated encryption schemes. They are found by a search of the space of all secure constructions based on an efficient design strategy that has been shown to be one of the most optimal among all the considered. We implement the constructions on the latest Intel’s processors. Our b...

Intel’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX) provide a new hardware-based trusted execution environment on Intel CPUs using secure enclaves that are resilient to accesses by privileged code and physical attackers. Originally designed for securing small services, SGX bears promise to protect complex, possibly cloud-hosted, legacy applications. In this paper, we show that previously considered harmles...
