AFAIK Tor is on the way to get working multithreading, so if this is done you should be able to saturate a 10 gig pipe with some of the bigger cpus. Does somebody know if there is some schedule in what timespan Tor will get there?
Thomas White:
Having discussed this with my partner earlier today, I am curious as to what knowledge the community might have on overclocking a CPU or using other speciality hardware to create an ultra fast Tor relay. I am aware of what IPredator have done but I feel confident better can be done.
Has anyone looked into FPGA's at all or know what features, other than AES-NI enabled CPUs could bring big performance boosts?
