SIMD TCP/UDP checksumming in a CPU

摘要

A CPU adapted to calculate a checksum simultaneously on multiple values packed into a single register. An adder is provided which adds a number of values packed into a first register to a number of packed values from a second register. The adder is constructed, or partitioned, so that the values do not propagate their carry bit to the next value. A special carry bit adder is provided which will add a carry bit out of each partitioned portion back into the sum value to generate the sum required by the checksum protocol.
