1*0Sstevel@tonic-gate<OBSOLETE> 2*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 3*0Sstevel@tonic-gateAll assember in this directory are just version of the file 4*0Sstevel@tonic-gatecrypto/bn/bn_asm.c. 5*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 6*0Sstevel@tonic-gateQuite a few of these files are just the assember output from gcc since on 7*0Sstevel@tonic-gatequite a few machines they are 2 times faster than the system compiler. 8*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 9*0Sstevel@tonic-gateFor the x86, I have hand written assember because of the bad job all 10*0Sstevel@tonic-gatecompilers seem to do on it. This normally gives a 2 time speed up in the RSA 11*0Sstevel@tonic-gateroutines. 12*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 13*0Sstevel@tonic-gateFor the DEC alpha, I also hand wrote the assember (except the division which 14*0Sstevel@tonic-gateis just the output from the C compiler pasted on the end of the file). 15*0Sstevel@tonic-gateOn the 2 alpha C compilers I had access to, it was not possible to do 16*0Sstevel@tonic-gate64b x 64b -> 128b calculations (both long and the long long data types 17*0Sstevel@tonic-gatewere 64 bits). So the hand assember gives access to the 128 bit result and 18*0Sstevel@tonic-gatea 2 times speedup :-). 19*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 20*0Sstevel@tonic-gateThere are 3 versions of assember for the HP PA-RISC. 21*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 22*0Sstevel@tonic-gatepa-risc.s is the origional one which works fine and generated using gcc :-) 23*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 24*0Sstevel@tonic-gatepa-risc2W.s and pa-risc2.s are 64 and 32-bit PA-RISC 2.0 implementations 25*0Sstevel@tonic-gateby Chris Ruemmler from HP (with some help from the HP C compiler). 26*0Sstevel@tonic-gate 27*0Sstevel@tonic-gate</OBSOLETE> 28
