  • Abstract
    In this paper, performance characteristics of the ItaniumTM processor, the first implementation of the ItaniumTM Processor Family (IPF), is examined for the task of data encryption using public key and symmetric key encryption algorithms. The ItaniumTM processor key performance characteristics: wide issue width, large number of functional units, and large number of registers are examined for the task of performing multi-precision arithmetic dominant in public key algorithms and the computing requirements of symmetric key encryption algorithms.
