Introduction

? Assembly optimization benefits

? Take advantages of ARMv8 capabilities ? Hardware specific instructions (such as SVC, AES, SHA and etc.) ? Vector (Single Instruction Multiple Data) Instructions

? Others ? No need for CGo dependency ? Avoid runtime context switching overhead ? Optimized code (vs Go compiler) ? Faster compilation
