355714SkrisAll assember in this directory are just version of the file
459191Skriscrypto/bn/bn_asm.c.
555714Skris
655714SkrisQuite a few of these files are just the assember output from gcc since on 
755714Skrisquite a few machines they are 2 times faster than the system compiler.
855714Skris
955714SkrisFor the x86, I have hand written assember because of the bad job all
1055714Skriscompilers seem to do on it.  This normally gives a 2 time speed up in the RSA
1155714Skrisroutines.
1255714Skris
1355714SkrisFor the DEC alpha, I also hand wrote the assember (except the division which
1455714Skrisis just the output from the C compiler pasted on the end of the file).
1555714SkrisOn the 2 alpha C compilers I had access to, it was not possible to do
1655714Skris64b x 64b -> 128b calculations (both long and the long long data types
1755714Skriswere 64 bits).  So the hand assember gives access to the 128 bit result and
1855714Skrisa 2 times speedup :-).
1955714Skris
2068651SkrisThere are 3 versions of assember for the HP PA-RISC.
2168651Skris
2268651Skrispa-risc.s is the origional one which works fine and generated using gcc :-)
2368651Skris
2468651Skrispa-risc2W.s and pa-risc2.s are 64 and 32-bit PA-RISC 2.0 implementations
2568651Skrisby Chris Ruemmler from HP (with some help from the HP C compiler).
