Marc Tiehuis	2659ac01be	Add Sha2 functions ... We take the fastest time measurement taken across multiple runs. Tested across multiple compiler flags and the best chosen. ``` Cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz Gcc: 7.2.1 20171224 Clang: 5.0.1 Zig: 0.1.1.304f6f1d ``` See https://www.nayuki.io/page/fast-sha2-hashes-in-x86-assembly. ``` Gcc -O2 219 Mb/s Clang -O2 213 Mb/s Zig --release-fast 284 Mb/s Zig --release-safe 211 Mb/s Zig 6 Mb/s ``` ``` Gcc -O2 350 Mb/s Clang -O2 354 Mb/s Zig --release-fast 426 Mb/s Zig --release-safe 300 Mb/s Zig 11 Mb/s ```	2018-01-13 22:37:47 +13:00
Marc Tiehuis	51fdbf7f8c	Add Md5 and Sha1 hash functions ... Some performance comparisons to C. We take the fastest time measurement taken across multiple runs. The block hashing functions use the same md5/sha1 methods. ``` Cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @ 3.20GHz Gcc: 7.2.1 20171224 Clang: 5.0.1 Zig: 0.1.1.304f6f1d ``` See https://www.nayuki.io/page/fast-md5-hash-implementation-in-x86-assembly: ``` gcc -O2 661 Mb/s clang -O2 490 Mb/s zig --release-fast and zig --release-safe 570 Mb/s zig 50 Mb/s ``` See https://www.nayuki.io/page/fast-sha1-hash-implementation-in-x86-assembly: ``` gcc -O2 588 Mb/s clang -O2 563 Mb/s zig --release-fast and zig --release-safe 610 Mb/s zig 21 Mb/s ``` In short, zig provides pretty useful tools for writing this sort of code. We are in the lead against clang (which uses the same LLVM backend) with us being slower only against md5 with GCC.	2018-01-13 14:40:21 +13:00
