1<OBSOLETE> 2 3All assember in this directory are just version of the file 4crypto/bn/bn_asm.c. 5 6Quite a few of these files are just the assember output from gcc since on 7quite a few machines they are 2 times faster than the system compiler. 8 9For the x86, I have hand written assember because of the bad job all 10compilers seem to do on it. This normally gives a 2 time speed up in the RSA 11routines. 12 13For the DEC alpha, I also hand wrote the assember (except the division which 14is just the output from the C compiler pasted on the end of the file). 15On the 2 alpha C compilers I had access to, it was not possible to do 1664b x 64b -> 128b calculations (both long and the long long data types 17were 64 bits). So the hand assember gives access to the 128 bit result and 18a 2 times speedup :-). 19 20There are 3 versions of assember for the HP PA-RISC. 21 22pa-risc.s is the origional one which works fine and generated using gcc :-) 23 24pa-risc2W.s and pa-risc2.s are 64 and 32-bit PA-RISC 2.0 implementations 25by Chris Ruemmler from HP (with some help from the HP C compiler). 26 27</OBSOLETE> 28
