Game of Life

The Game of Life is a "0 player game" cellular automaton. With an initial configuration, the game uses a set of rules to determine what happens to the life forms from generation to generation. More information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

These results were taken with an execution of 50000 generations and default settings for the rest of the options.

Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds.

MD5 Checksum Calculator

The md5 checksum is a commonly used hash function that produces a 128-bit hash value commonly used to check data integrity. It is also used in a wide variety of security applications, however its use in checking data integrity is what will be explored in this assignment.

The full source code for the MD5 checksum calculator can be found here: [1]

The following result (external link) was found after attempting to generate the md5 checksum for a 6.4gb file (Windows Vista ISO): [2]

Code Snippet

From analysis of the above profile, the code to be targetted for optimization is the following:

   unsigned char block[64])
{

  unsigned int lA = state[0], lB = state[1], lC = state[2], lD = state[3];
  unsigned int x[16];
 
  _MD5_decode (x, block, 64);
