31057SalmAll assember in this directory are just version of the file
416663Sjkhcrypto/bn/bn_asm.c.

61057SalmQuite a few of these files are just the assember output from gcc since on 
71057Salmquite a few machines they are 2 times faster than the system compiler.

91057SalmFor the x86, I have hand written assember because of the bad job all
101057Salmcompilers seem to do on it.  This normally gives a 2 time speed up in the RSA
111057Salmroutines.
121057Salm
131057SalmFor the DEC alpha, I also hand wrote the assember (except the division which
1416Salmis just the output from the C compiler pasted on the end of the file).
151057SalmOn the 2 alpha C compilers I had access to, it was not possible to do
161796Sphk64b x 64b -> 128b calculations (both long and the long long data types
171796Sphkwere 64 bits).  So the hand assember gives access to the 128 bit result and
181057Salma 2 times speedup :-).
191057Salm
201057SalmThere are 3 versions of assember for the HP PA-RISC.
2116Salm
2216Salmpa-risc.s is the origional one which works fine and generated using gcc :-)
231057Salm
241057Salmpa-risc2W.s and pa-risc2.s are 64 and 32-bit PA-RISC 2.0 implementations
2516Salmby Chris Ruemmler from HP (with some help from the HP C compiler).
