# Changes
## February 8, 2019
AVX512 accelerated version added for Intel Skylake CPUs. This can give up to a 4x speed improvement as compared to AVX2. See [here](https://github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon#performance-on-avx512) for more details.
## December 18, 2018
Assembly code for ppc64le has been contributed, this boosts performance by about 10x on this platform.

# Performance on AVX512
The performance on AVX512 has been accelerated for Intel CPUs. This gives speedups on a per-core basis of up to 4x compared to AVX2 as can be seen in the following table:

```
This speedup has been achieved by computing multiple parity blocks in parallel as opposed to one after the other. In doing so it is possible to minimize the memory bandwidth required for loading all data shards. At the same time the calculations are performed in the 512-bit wide ZMM registers and the surplus of ZMM registers (32 in total) is used to keep more data around (most notably the matrix coefficients).
