They were added at // Crypto++ 5.6.3. At compile time, it uses CRYPTOPP_BOOL_{X86|X32|X64} // to select an implementation or "throw NotImplemented". At runtime the // constructor will throw RDRAND_Err or RDSEED_Err if a generator is // is not available. // The original classes accepted a retry count. Retries were superfluous for // RDRAND, and RDSEED encountered a failure about 1 in 256 bytes depending // on the processor. Retries were removed at Crypto++ 6.0 because // GenerateBlock unconditionally retries and always fulfills the request. // Throughput varies wildly depending on processor and manufacturer. A Core i5 or // Core i7 RDRAND can generate at over 200 MiB/s. It is below theroetical // maximum, but it takes about 5 instructions to generate, retry and store a // result. A low-end Celeron may perform RDRAND at about 7 MiB/s. RDSEED // performs at about 1/4 to 1/2 the rate of RDRAND. AMD RDRAND performed poorly // during testing with Athlon X4 845. The Bulldozer v4 only performed at 1 MiB/s. // Microsoft added RDRAND in August 2012, VS2012; RDSEED in October 2013, VS2013. // GCC added RDRAND in December 2010, GCC 4.6. LLVM added RDRAND in July 2012, // Clang 3.2. Intel added RDRAND in September 2011, ICC 12.1.
