The wolfSSL / wolfCrypt libraries support asynchronous (non-blocking) crypto using hardware acceleration with the Intel QuickAssist and Cavium Nitrox III/V adapters. These are PCIe devices that accelerate crypto operations. For server platforms requiring high connection rates and throughput this allows greatly increased performance.
For some performance numbers see this page:
