This section describes a system resources enhancement in this release.
On the SPARC T4 platform, the CRC32c algorithm in the iSCSI initiator automatically uses the SPARC T4 CRC32C instruction for enhanced performance. This enhancement provides the following benefits:
Decreases the CPU usage when the CRC checksum is applied on the iSCSI data transfer
Increases data throughput for iSCSI traffic
For more information about the T4 CRC instruction, see SPARC T4 Processor Offload Engine for Crypto Instructions.
