Introduction
This simple optimization walk-through improves an already-optimized sample OpenSSL application's performance by 35% using Intel® cryptography library functions.
Intel Performance Libraries
Intel Performance Libraries allow you to leverage both parallelism and SIMD instructions in C#
Modern microprocessors can execute Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions. Because the execution units for SIMD instructions usually belong to a physical core, it is possible to run as many SIMD instructions in parallel as available physical cores. The usage of these vector-processing capabilities in parallel can provide important speedups in certain algorithms. You can use Intel Performance Libraries to leverage both parallelism and SIMD instructions in C# and .NET Framework 4.
