[x86_64] Use 2-way GHASH pclmul update (!57) · Merge requests · Nettle / nettle

Maamoun TK requested to merge mamonet/nettle:x86_ghash into master Mar 23, 2023

I observed that pclmulqdq has latency of 7 cycles on Comet Lake arch and a reciprocal throughput of 7/7 = 1 so 2-way GHASH block update nearly doubles the performance speed on that architecture.

Tested on Intel Core i5-10300H
