| TurboSFV v10.20 - BLAKE2BP |
Notes to TurboSFV v10.20:
The new version of TurboSFV comes with the parallel variants of BLAKE2B, which are called BLAKE2BP. BLAKE2BP runs four instances of BLAKE2B, thus for the calculation of checksums, up to four CPUs can be used in parallel mode. Like BLAKE2B,
BLAKE2BP works with 64-bit integers and is designed for 64-bit CPUs. However, the 32-bit version of TurboSFV also supports BLAKE2BP, but it's slower, because the x86 CPU with its 32-bit registers has to deal with 64-bit
numbers.
Like BLAKE2B, BLAKE2BP offers digit length up to 512 bits and the following algorithms are available: BLAKE2BP-256, BLAKE2BP-384 and BLAKE2BP-512. Note that the parallel version doesn't produce the same output like the single version, thus
the checksums calculated for example by BLAKE2B-256 and BLAKE2BP-256 are
different.
In TurboSFV, it's possible to define the number of CPUs to be used for parallel calculation of checksums from the BLAKE families. If more than four CPUs are selected, then only four CPUs are used for the calculation of BLAKE2BP checksums,
because BLAKE2BP only supports four
instances.
