Forum Post: RE: C66x core cryptographic algorithm optimization

HR-

Thanks again.

TI guys-

Are there any benchmarks for stream ciphers, rather than block ciphers handled by the C66x SA?  The source code I listed above (excerpt here again):

uint32 x[16];

  x[i1] ^= (x[i2] + x[i3]) << s1;
  x[i4] ^= (x[i5] + x[i6]) << s2;

is typical for this category, for example the Salsa20 algorithm does this.   Thanks.
