Effectiveness and Limitations of Embedded Counter Based Performance Analysis

This paper presents an experimental study on the performance of the Intel Pentium Pro microprocessor using embedded performance counters. The counters enable detailed run-time analysis of branching and memory subsystem performance, and are accessed through a custom designed tool. The study uses Windows NT and realistic benchmarks including BAPco’s Sysmark32 suite, the Ziff-Davis Winstone97 PC B...

New Results on the Two sh Encryption Algorithm

Two sh is a 128-bit block cipher submitted as an AES candidate. We provide several new results, continuing the research in [SKW+98a, SKW+99b]. 1) We provide new performance numbers, including: faster encryption and decryption on the Pentium Pro/II, faster key setup on the Pentium and Pentium Pro/II in assembly language, large-RAM implementations on 32-bit CPUs, Alpha performance, more implement...

Verification of Floating-Point Adders

The floating-point division bug in Intel's Pentium processor and the overflow flag erratum of the FIST instruction in Intel's Pentium Pro and Pentium II processor have demonstrated the importance and the difficulty of verifying floating-point arithmetic circuits. In this paper, we present a "black box" version of verification of FP adders. In our approach, FP adders are verified by an extended ...
