Huge Speedups For CRC32C With Modern AVX-512 CPUs Merged To Linux 6.17


The CRC32C cyclic redundancy check code path within the Linux kernel for error detection is much, much faster with the in-development Linux 6.17 kernel when running on modern Intel and AMD AVX-512 processors.

The CRC32C cyclic redundancy check code path within the Linux kernel for error detection is much, much faster with the in-development Linux 6.17 kernel when running on modern Intel and AMD AVX-512 processors. The shiny improvement was merged as part of the CRC updates for Linux 6.17. That change should yield slightly faster performance and being simpler code-wise.
