ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the invention sets forth a computing system for performing cryptographic computations. The computing system comprises a central processing unit, a graphics processing unit, and a driver. The central processing requests a cryptographic computation. In response, the driver downloads microcode to perform the cryptographic computation to the graphics processing unit and the graphics processing unit executes microcode. This offloads cryptographic computations from the CPU. As a result, cryptographic computations are performed faster and more efficiently on the GPU, freeing resources on the CPU for other tasks.
