||
## Overview | ||
|
||
This provides a separate internal module for generating the assembly code that | ||
provides vector acceleration for the BLAKE-224 and BLAKE-256 block compression | ||
function. | ||
|
||
It uses Go to generate the assembly functions and related stubs to support SSE2, | ||
SSE4.1, and AVX for `amd64` via [avo](https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo). | ||
|
||
The internal module ensures the specific version of avo used to generate the | ||
code is pinned and therefore entirely reproducible without adding an otherwise | ||
unnecessary dependency to the main public module. | ||
|
||
## Generating Code | ||
|
||
The assembly code can be generating by running the following command in this | ||
directory: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
$ go generate | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Installation and Updating | ||

to be manually updated. | ||
