An example of cycle counts for mul_basecase for two 50-limb operands:
alder bd1 bt1 core2 has- broad- sandy k8 zen
lake well well bridge
E 5.41 1.51 2.58 1.55 3.06 1.36 1.34 2.09 2.09
P 0.97 1.11 1.33 1.16 1.03 1.20 1.26 1.30 1.32
The code developed for Intel's Alder Lake's E cores, runs well on the
Lion Cove cores at less than 1 cycle/limb. All code variabts run
decently on the P cores.
But the E cores are much less robust, with results varying from 1.34 to
more than 5 cycles/limb.
And here is the crux: the code that is the fastest for the P cores is
the slowest for the E cores.
