23:42 – Crypto Acceleration slides online

14:42 PST

As expected, my talk came out a bit shorter than I expected. I aimed for about forty minutes-ish and I finished in just about 25 minutes. I got about fifteen minutes of very good questions though, so it worked out fairly well in the end.

I've put my slides online here, if anyone is interested. I plan to spend some time perhaps on my next flight fleshing it out with more interesting numbers and such.

Really clean slide layout and structure. What did you use to generate those?

Funny ... I get that question after every talk I give. ;-)

I use LaTeX-beamer with the Copenhagen theme and the crane colour scheme.  I spend ridiculous amounts of time shuffling \sections and \subsections before I start filling in frames.

This particular presentation will need a bit more cleanup before I give it again.

Hi,

Nice slide.
I think that the latest version of OpenSSL (not yet in the base system) uses the cryptodev engine by default. That was a regression in previous version.

I've made a lot of speed tests on glxsb, imho the best tool to measure the performance is the cryptotest tool (in src/tools/tools/crypto)

Results with glxsb / cryptotest (in blue -old- the throughput of the current driver)
