@sevenps @zooko @aumasson Linux now uses two incompatible little-endian ARM ABIs: soft-float and hard-float. You have to compile for both.

The SHA-3 contest has demonstrated that it is possible to build secure hash functions. Now can we build fast ones? https://bit.ly/HBZnkE

@zooko OTOH it's not true to say "SHA-3 won't be faster than SHA-2", unless you restrict to those platforms where SHA-2 is faster ;)

@aumasson You're right. Blake and Skein are faster than SHA-256 on most platforms for most message lengths. But SHA-256 is smaller in ASIC?

@zooko @aumasson BLAKE should be performing much faster on h6dragon (NEON fails to build). See http://bench.cr.yp.to/web-impl/armeabi-h1mx515-crypto_hash.html vs http://bench.cr.yp.to/web-impl/armeabi-h6dragon-crypto_hash.html
