# Changes
## December 18, 2018
Assembly code for ppc64le has been contributed, this boosts performance by about 10x on this platform.
## November 18, 2017
Added [WithAutoGoroutines](https://godoc.org/github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon#WithAutoGoroutines) which will attempt to calculate the optimal number of goroutines to use based on your expected shard size and detected CPU.

# Performance on ppc64le
The performance for ppc64le has been accelerated. This gives roughly a 10x performance improvement on this architecture as can been seen below:
