blake3 implements the BLAKE3 cryptographic hash function. This implementation aims to be performant without sacrificing (too much) readability, in the hopes of eventually landing in x/crypto.

In addition to the pure-Go implementation, this package also contains AVX-512 and AVX2 routines (generated by avo) that greatly increase performance for large inputs and outputs.

Benchmarks

Tested on a 2020 MacBook Air (i5-7600K @ 3.80GHz). Benchmarks will improve as soon as I get access to a beefier AVX-512 machine. 😉

Shortcomings

There is no assembly routine for single-block compressions. This is most noticeable for ~1KB inputs.

Each assembly routine inlines all 7 rounds, causing thousands of lines of duplicated code. Ideally the routines could be merged such that only a single routine is generated for AVX-512 and AVX2, without sacrificing too much performance.
