Because of the nature of // C language, compiler doesn't [dare to] reorder load and stores. But // being memory-bound, RC4 should benefit from reorder [on in-order- // execution core such as IA-64]. But what can we reorder? At the very // least we can safely reorder references to key schedule in respect // to input and output streams. Secondly, less obvious, it's possible // to pull up some references to elements of the key schedule itself. // Fact is that such prior loads are not safe only for "degenerated" // key schedule, when some elements equal to the same value, which is // never the case [key schedule setup routine makes sure it's not]. // Furthermore. In order to compress loop body to the minimum, I chose // to deploy deposit instruction, which substitutes for the whole // key->data+((x&255)<data[0]))). This unfortunately // requires key->data to be aligned at sizeof(key->data) boundary. // This is why you'll find "RC4_INT pad[512-256-2];" addenum to RC4_KEY // and "d=(RC4_INT *)(((size_t)(d+255))&~(sizeof(key->data)-1));" in // rc4_skey.c [and rc4_enc.c, where it's retained for debugging // purposes]. Throughput is ~210MBps on 900MHz CPU, which is is >3x // faster than gcc generated code and +30% - if compared to HP-UX C. // Unrolling loop below should give >30% on top of that... .text .explicit #if defined(_HPUX_SOURCE) && !defined(_LP64) # define ADDP addp4 #else # define ADDP add #endif #define SZ 4 // this is set to sizeof(RC4_INT) // SZ==4 seems to be optimal.
