- Port field operations assembler from libsecp256k1 (field_amd64.s,
field_amd64_bmi2.s) with MULX/ADCX/ADOX instructions
- Add AVX2 scalar and affine point operations in avx/ package
- Implement CPU feature detection (cpufeatures.go) for AVX2/BMI2
- Add libsecp256k1.so via purego for native C library comparison
- Create comprehensive SIMD benchmark suite comparing btcec, P256K1
pure Go, P256K1 ASM, and libsecp256k1
- Add BENCHMARK_SIMD.md documenting performance across implementations
- Remove BtcecSigner, consolidate on P256K1Signer as primary impl
- Add field operation tests and benchmarks (field_asm_test.go,
field_bench_test.go)
- Update GLV endomorphism with wNAF scalar multiplication
- Add scalar assembly (scalar_amd64.s) for optimized operations
- Clean up dependencies and update benchmark reports
This commit deletes the `benchmark_results.txt` file, which contained performance metrics for various cryptographic operations. Additionally, the Go module has been updated to version 1.25.0, and new dependencies have been added, including `btcec` for enhanced signing capabilities. The `go.sum` file has also been updated to reflect these changes. A new benchmark report has been introduced to provide a comprehensive comparison of signer implementations.
This commit introduces two new files: `BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md` and `benchmark_results.txt`, which document the performance metrics of various cryptographic operations, including ECDSA signing, verification, and ECDH key exchange. The results provide insights into operation times, memory allocations, and comparisons with C implementations. Additionally, new test files for ECDSA and ECDH functionalities have been added, ensuring comprehensive coverage and validation of the implemented algorithms. This enhances the overall robustness and performance understanding of the secp256k1 implementation.
