Accelerated Encryption with 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors

Earlier this year, Red Hat engineering took a close look at how to accelerate compression within applications by using 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors that include Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT), which can accelerate both compression and encryption. Today we will examine the encryption capabilities and show how to achieve major performance improvements with leading load balancing applications. HAProxy and F5’s NGINX were tested running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2.

Setting up

We started with a RHEL 9.2 installation on a system with an Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ p
