Rdrand Library
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
Welcome to the Rdrand Library. This is a simple library aimed at
|
|
bringing suport for the rdrdand instruction feature of Intel processors
|
|
starting with the Intel(r) microarchitecture code name Ivy Bridge, (also known
|
|
as 3rd Generation Intel Core(tm) processor) to users with toolchains that do
|
|
not support this new feature. For more information on the rdrand instruction,
|
|
please visit http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-bull-mountain-software-implementation-guide/
|
|
The new rdrand instruction is innovative hardware approach to high-quality,
|
|
high-performance entropy and random number generation. Because the many of
|
|
compiler toolchains do not support this new instruction, this library was
|
|
created to facilitate easy access to it. The idea is simple: link to a
|
|
built static library and enjoy the new feature! Or, if you wish the full
|
|
source code is provided.
|
|
|
|
Documentation is stored in doc/--Point your browser to doc/html/index.html to get
|
|
started. Included in the documentation is more information about the
|
|
rdrand instruction, build instructions, and information on supported
|
|
toolchains.
|
|
|
|
There is also a demonstration project using Microsoft* Visual Studio* project
|
|
file named "Test" that demonstrate linking to the generated library.
