This PR overrides the default MDS layer implementation of Poseidon on x86 targets to perform an FFT-based matrix-vector multiplication, similarly to what is done on aarch64 targets. Given that the x86_64-specific methods for Poseidon are all disabled, this can yield a significant speed-up on such targets, compared to the naive
mds_row_shf
implementation.On Ubuntu 22.04, Intel® Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz × 12, I am getting a 30% speed-up when running the
hashing
benchmark.
