wolfSSL on Pi5 Benchmarks

    • We at wolfSSL have worked hard to provide exceptional performance for our libraries across all platforms, but we’ve taken extra measures for Intel, ARM, RISC-V and PPC. For common key sizes and curves we’ve implemented inline assembly speedups for most algorithms.

    For example on the new Raspberry Pi5 with a Cortex A57 at 2.4GHz (default) running on a single thread we achieve the following benchmark results on wolfSSL v5.6.4:
