Abstract: A flexible aes instruction set for a general purpose processor is provided. The instruction set includes instructions to perform a “one round” pass for aes encryption or decryption and also includes instructions to perform key generation. An immediate may be used to indicate round number and key size for key generation for 128/192/256 bit keys. The flexible aes instruction set enables full use of pipelining capabilities because it does not require tracking of implicit registers.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described by which data is compressed using semi-dynamic Huffman code generation. Embodiments generate symbol statistics over a portion of data. The symbol statistics are expanded to include all possible literals that could appear within the data. Any literal or reference added to the statistics may be given a frequency of one. The statistics are used to generate a semi-dynamic Huffman code. The entire data is then compressed using the semi-dynamic Huffman code.
