Abstract: A network device includes a hardware pipeline to process a network packet to be encrypted. A portion of the hardware pipeline retrieves information from the network packet and generates a command based on the information. A block cipher circuit is coupled inline within the hardware pipeline. The hardware pipeline includes hardware engines coupled between the portion of the hardware pipeline and the block cipher circuit. The hardware engines parse and execute the command to determine a set of inputs and input the set of inputs and portions of the network packet to the block cipher circuit. The block cipher circuit encrypts a payload data of the network packet based on the set of inputs.

Abstract: A method of warping data includes the steps of providing a set of target coordinates x?N, calculating, by a warping engine, source coordinates x??N for the target coordinates x?N, requesting, by the warping engine, data values for a plurality of source coordinates from a cache, and computing, by the warping engine, interpolated data values for each x in a neighborhood of x? from the data values of the source coordinates returned from the cache. Requesting data values from the cache includes notifying the cache that data values for a particular group of source points will be needed for computing interpolated data values for a particular target point, and fetching the data values for the particular group of source points when they are need for computing interpolated data values for the particular target point.
