Implementation and Optimization of AES Algorithm on the Sunway TaihuLight

摘要

With the rapid development of information technology, the security of massive amounts of digital data has attracted huge attention in recent years. In this paper, we provide an efficient parallel implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, a widely used symmetrical block encryption algorithm, based on the Sunway TaihuLight. The Sunway TaihuLight is a China's independently developed heterogeneous supercomputer with peak performance over 100 PFlops. We also optimize the parallel implementation of the AES algorithm based on the Sunway TaihuLight to achieve more optimized performance. The optimization of the parallel AES algorithm in a single SW26010 node is provided. Specifically, we expand the scale to 1024 nodes and achieve the throughput of about 63.91 GB/s (511.28 Gbits/s). Our parallel implementation of the AES algorithm has great parallel scalability and the speedup ratio can be very high with the number of nodes increasing.
