>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: native, performance
>    Affects Versions: trunk-win
>         Environment: ARM aarch64 Juno development platform
>            Reporter: Edward Nevill
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: performance
>             Fix For: trunk-win

> This patch adds support for hardware crc for ARM's new 64 bit architecture.
> The patch is completely conditionalized on __arch64__
> For the moment I have only done the non pipelined version as the hw I have only has 1 crc execute unit.
> Some initial benchmarks on terasort give
> sw crc: 107 sec
> hw crc: 103 sec
> The performance improvement is quite small, but this is limited by the fact that I am using early stage hw which is not performant.
> I have also built it on x86 and I think the change is fairly safe for other architectures because post conditionalization the src is identical on other architectures.
> This is the first patch I have submitted for Hadoop so I would welcome any feedback and help.
