That’s not a big deal on a multi-core 1ghz processor. Much bigger deal on a single core 200mhz microcontroller that doesn’t have branch prediction or any of tho

- Symmetry 3y agoI know you're pointing at the general class of hardware performance enhancements including branch prediction, hardware prefetching, superscaler execution, pipelining, etc. But out of all of them, if you get a speedup for any advanced branch prediction beyond just always assuming branches are taken then I'd be very worried your cryptographic algorithm is broken.
