- 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.
