Hi! I mean that most of software which utilizes encryption relies on OpenSSL library. It looks that current version of OpenSSL in FreeBSD cannot use aesni as hardware accelerator, so all that software cannot benefit from using aesni. On the other hand there is stuff like ipsec and geli which relies on crypto(9) framework. This may use aesni accelerator. Unfortunately the machine with Bulldozer that I have use neither of them so I cannot tell how significant improvement is. On 03/10/2012 07:36 PM, 图潘 wrote: > What patches are you talking about?
