aes256CbcEncrypt¶

To profile performance of aes256CbcEncrypt, we prepare a datapack of 96K messages, each message is 1Kbyte. We have 4 kernels, each kernel has 12 PUs. Kernel utilization and throughput is shown in table below.

Executable Usage¶

Work Directory(Step 1)

The steps for library download and environment setup can be found in Vitis Security Library. For getting the design,

cd L1/benchmarks/aes256CbcEncrypt

Build kernel(Step 2)

Run the following make command to build your XCLBIN and host binary targeting a specific device. Please be noticed that this process will take a long time, maybe couple of hours.

source /opt/xilinx/Vitis/2021.1/settings64.sh
source /opt/xilinx/xrt/setenv.sh
export DEVICE=u50_gen3x16
export TARGET=hw
make run

Run kernel(Step 3)

To get the benchmark results, please run the following command.

./BUILD_DIR/host.exe -xclbin ./BUILD_DIR/aes256CbcEncryptKernel.xclbin

Input Arguments:

Usage: host.exe -[-xclbin]
       -xclbin     binary;
