Can FreeBSD take advantage of multiple cards like that? | | another question is, is there logic, either in the driver or in openssl, | to notice if crypto operations are getting backed up waiting for the | crypto card while the main cpu is idle and, in that case, to start doing | the crypto on the main cpu rather than on the crypto card? | | in other words, if the main cpu is actually way faster than the crypto | card, is it possible that the crypto card could actually _slow_ crypto | operations on that system? | | last time I checked, the stats on the cheap soekris cards were way slower | than the output of "openssl speed" run on my system during normal load.... how would one test this out: just run % openssl speed on a system with the card, and then again without the card? where are you referencing your stats from? -randall _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
