Abstract: Vector instructions for performing SNOW 3G wireless security operations are received and executed by the execution circuitry of a processor. The execution circuitry receives a first operand of the first instruction specifying a first vector register that stores a current state of a finite state machine (FSM). The execution circuitry also receives a second operand of the first instruction specifying a second vector register that stores data elements of a liner feedback shift register (LFSR) that are needed for updating the FSM. The execution circuitry executes the first instruction to produce a updated state of the FSM and an output of the FSM in a destination operand of the first instruction.

Abstract: Technologies for low-latency compression in a data center are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a storage sled compresses data with a low-latency compression algorithm prior to storing the data. The latency of the compression algorithm is less than the latency of the storage device, so that the latency of the storage and retrieval times are not significantly affected by the compression and decompression. In other embodiments, a compute sled may compress data with a low-latency compression algorithm prior to sending the data to a storage sled.

Abstract: A flexible aes instruction for a general purpose processor is provided that performs aes encryption or decryption using n rounds, where n includes the standard aes set of rounds {10, 12, 14}. A parameter is provided to allow the type of aes round to be selected, that is, whether it is a “last round”. In addition to standard aes, the flexible aes instruction allows an AES-like cipher with 20 rounds to be specified or a “one round” pass.
