sha256-simd accelerate SHA256 computations in pure Go for both Intel
(AVX2, AVX, SSE) as well as ARM (arm64) platforms. Introduction This
package is designed as a drop-in replacement for crypto/sha256. For Intel
CPUs it has three flavors for AVX2, AVX and SSE whereby the fastest
method is automatically chosen depending on CPU capabilities. For ARM
CPUs with the Cryptography Extensions advantage is taken of the SHA2
instructions resulting in a massive performance improvement.
.
This package uses Golang assembly and as such does not depend on cgo. The
Intel versions are based on the implementations as described in "Fast
SHA-256 Implementations on Intel Architecture Processors" by J. Guilford
et al. Performance Below is the speed in MB/s for a single core (ranked
fast to slow) as well as the factor of improvement over crypto/sha256
(when applicable).
