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. Copyright(C) 2012 Intel Corporation.
