New submission from Gustavo Serra Scalet: To correctly pick the best algorithm for the current architecture, libssl needs to have OPENSSL_config(NULL) called as described on: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Libcrypto_API
This short change lead to a speedup of 50% on POWER8 when using hashlib.sha256 digest functionality as it now uses a SIMD approach that was already existing but not used by cpython. ---------- assignee: christian.heimes components: SSL messages: 291892 nosy: christian.heimes, gut priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: improve performance of libSSL usage on hashing type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30102> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
