Public Key (PK) Acceleration for Increased Server Performance Presented by Exar Technologist
Presentation and Whitepaper Highlight Server - and Workload - Optimization Techniques
FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Exar Corporation (Nasdaq: EXAR) technologist, John Fryar, will highlight server- and workload-optimization techniques in his presentation "PK Acceleration for Increased Server Performance" at the Server Design Summit in Santa Clara, California. Mr. Fryar's presentation is part of the Accelerating Application Performance session 2-201 on Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 8:30 a.m. The Server Design Summit takes place Nov. 29 - 30, at the Santa Clara Marriot.
The presentation will discuss the benefits to web application servers of offloading the CPU intensive complex mathematics of PK cryptography, encryption, and authentication required for SSL protocol suites onto a dedicated algorithm accelerator.
To complement this presentation Exar has also completed extensive benchmark testing of hardware accelerated solutions versus software solutions that only utilize the system CPU. The findings are available on the Exar website (registration required) in the whitepaper titled "Securing Cloud and Web-based Applications - Hardware Acceleration for Network Security." The whitepaper includes benchmarks for performance, CPU utilization and power consumption for encryption, authentication and PK processing.
Server Design Summit focuses on the design of next-generation servers ranging from simple blades to powerful high-end systems. Servers have the primary function of managing data transfers rather than actual computing. They generally operate in large racks in data centers. Problems include load balancing, power dissipation, consolidation, and expansion. Current issues include designing for virtualization and cloud computing, reducing power consumption, managing large numbers of servers (server farms), increasing throughput and performance, and bundling of servers, interfaces, and software into unified architectures. Other issues include the use of advanced interfaces and storage devices such as 10/40/100GbE, InfiniBand, NAS, SAN, and solid state drives.
