Generate x86 Assembly with Go

Project mention: How to Use AVX512 in Golang | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-22

I thought the /r/golang comments on this post were pretty useful[1]. They also introduced me to avo[2], a tool for generating x86 assembly from go that I hadn't seen before. There are some examples listed on the avo github page for generating AVX512 instructions with avo.

sha256-simd

1 887 0.0 Go

Accelerate SHA256 computations in pure Go using AVX512, SHA Extensions for x86 and ARM64 for ARM. On AVX512 it provides an up to 8x improvement (over 3 GB/s per core). SHA Extensions give a performance boost of close to 4x over native.

SHA256 is high quality but typically a bit slower. Next Go version will have faster SHA256 on some amd64 CPUs - until then you can try sha256-simd which offers the same.
highwayhash

2 834 5.8 Go

Native Go version of HighwayHash with optimized assembly implementations on Intel and ARM. Able to process over 10 GB/sec on a single core on Intel CPUs - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HighwayHash (by minio)

highwayhash (alt) provides 256 bits. Fast mainly for larger inputs and supports seeds.

Go library providing algorithms optimized to leverage the characteristics of modern CPUs (by segmentio)

Project mention: Quickly checking that a string belongs to a small set | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-12-30

We took a similar approach in our JSON decoder. We needed to support sets (JSON object keys) that aren't necessarily known until runtime, and strings that are up to 16 bytes in length.
We got better performance with a linear scan and SIMD matching than with a hash table or a perfect hashing scheme.
See https://github.com/segmentio/asm/pull/57 (AMD64) and https://github.com/segmentio/asm/pull/65 (ARM64). Here's how it's used in the JSON decoder: https://github.com/segmentio/encoding/pull/101
