Intel QuickAssist Technology services provides hardware acceleration to assist Intel DH8955 controller for with the performance demands of secur- scalable performance ing and routing Internet traffic and other Support for SR-IOV workloads such as compression and wire- Low profile, PCIe compliant card less 3G/4G LTE algorithm offload, thereby PCI Express* Gen 3 (8GT/s) reserving processor cycles for application and control processing. The Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8950 provides up to 50 Gbps for virtual private networks (VPNs) and helps storage and network optimization applications better handle compression and decompression tasks. Kasumi and Snow 3G functions within Intel QuickAssist Technology help with 3G and 4G LTE mobile gateway and infrastructure workloads. intel QuickAssist Adapter 8950 Features b enefits Intel QuickAssist Technology Provides hardware acceleration services for efficient cryptographic and compression performance. Symmetric cryptography functions include: Cipher operations (AES, DES, 3DES, ARC4) Wireless (Kasumi, Snow 3G) Hash/Authenticate operations (SHA-1, MD5, SHA-2 SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 Authentication (HMAC, AES-XCBC, AES-CCM) Random number generation. Public Key functions include: RSA operation Diffie-Hellman operation Digital signature standard operation Key derivation operation Elliptic curve cryptography (ECDSA and ECDH) Random num- ber generation and price number testing. Compression/Decompression include: DEFLATE (Lempel-Ziv 77) LZS (Lempel-Ziv-Stac). Provides support for multiple operating systems: Linux*, KVM, open source framework patches, Intel QuickAssist Technology Yocto Project* BSPs and WindRiver* Linux BSPs software support PCI-SI SR-IOV Implementation (32 virtual Implementation of I/O Virtualization. The physical configuration of each device is divided into multi- functions) for Intel QuickAssist Technology ple virtual devices. Each virtual device is assigned to an individual virtual machine directly bypassing services the virtual switch in the Hypervisor, resulting in near-native performance.
