This is a library specialized at replacing the big.Int library for math based on 256-bit types, used by both go-ethereum and turbo-geth.
Current benchmarks, with tests ending with big being the standard big.Int library, and uint256 being this library.
- As of 2020-03-18,
uint256wins overmath/bigin every single case, often with orders of magnitude. - And as of release
0.1.0, theuint256library is alloc-free. - With the
1.0.0release, it also has100%test coverage.

If you're interested in low-level algorithms and/or doing optimizations for shaving off nanoseconds, then this is certainly for you!
Choose an operation, and optimize the s**t out of it!
A few rules, though, to help your PR get approved:
- Do not optimize for 'best-case'/'most common case' at the expense of worst-case.
- We'll hold off on go assembly for a while, until the algos and interfaces are finished in a 'good enough' first version. After that, it's assembly time.
To do a simple benchmark for everything, do
go test -run - -bench . -benchmem
To see the difference between a branch and master, for a particular benchmark, do
git checkout master
go test -run - -bench Benchmark_Lsh -benchmem -count=10 > old.txt
git checkout opt_branch
go test -run - -bench Benchmark_Lsh -benchmem -count=10 > new.txt
benchstat old.txt new.txt
