For example, FP+R18 are used when it's allowed. On simpler cores like RPi3 or Surface Pro it is 23-53% faster than C2 compiled version; on Graviton 3 it is 8-14% faster than C2 compiled version (which is faster than the current intrinsic); on Apple Silicon it is faster than C2 compiled version but slower than the ARMv8.2-SHA intrinsic. Improvements on a particular CPU depend on the input length. For instance, for Graviton 2:

Existing test cases where intrinsic is enabled are executed with `-XX:+IgnoreUnrecognizedVMOptions -XX:+UseSIMDForSHA3Intrinsic`, on platforms where the sha3 extension is missing they still are cut off by isSHA3IntrinsicAvailable() predicate.

On Graviton 4 there is still a noticeable difference between the proposed implementation and C2 generated code:


Benchmark                    (digesterName)  (length)  Score      Pct
MessageDigests.digest              SHA3-256        64     8.3%
MessageDigests.digest              SHA3-256     16384     11%
MessageDigests.digest              SHA3-512        64     8.4%
MessageDigests.digest              SHA3-512     16384     11.5%
MessageDigests.getAndDigest        SHA3-256        64     7.2%
MessageDigests.getAndDigest        SHA3-256     16384     11%
MessageDigests.getAndDigest        SHA3-512        64     7.3%
MessageDigests.getAndDigest        SHA3-512     16384     11.6%


and the version that uses the extension is ~1.8x slower than C2
