Add the Base64 Decode intrinsic for x86 to utilize AVX-512 for acceleration. Also allows for performance improvement for non-AVX-512 enabled platforms. Due to the nature of MIME-encoded inputs, modify the intrinsic signature to accept an additional parameter (isMIME) for fast-path MIME decoding.
A change was made to the signature of DecodeBlock in Base64.java to provide the intrinsic information as to whether MIME decoding was being done. This allows for the intrinsic to bypass the expensive setup of zmm registers from AVX tables, knowing there may be invalid Base64 characters every 76 characters or so. A change was also made here removing the restriction that the intrinsic must return an even multiple of 3 bytes decoded. This implementation handles the pad characters at the end of the string and will return the actual number of characters decoded. The AVX portion of this code will decode in blocks of 256 bytes per loop iteration, then in chunks of 64 bytes, followed by end fixup decoding. The non-AVX code is an assembly-optimized version of the java DecodeBlock and behaves identically. Running the Base64Decode benchmark, this change increases decode performance by an average of 2.6x with a maximum 19.7x for buffers > ~20k. The numbers are given in the table below. **Base Score** is without intrinsic support, **Optimized Score** is using this intrinsic, and **Gain** is **Base** / **Optimized**.
