Can the algorithm benefit from SIMD/AVX512? Not helpful for ARM Macs, I have one too, but might be a contributing factor to lower adoption since those instructions aren't as widespread. First consumer chips in ~2017 and first AMD chips in ~2022.
- NovemberWhiskey 2y agoI did a quick check on a 2016-era Xeon E5 v4 (AVX2), and sha512 is much faster per openssl speed.
- formerly_proven 2y agoThe 32 bit variants are accelerated via SHA-NI on most CPUs, which inverts the performance ranking again, making SHA-256 the fastest common cryptographic hash by far.
