Subject: [PATCH] Add hash-bench-n64 to Programming/C/Example Code
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A libdragon-based ROM that times 32 hash algorithms on the VR4300 and
displays microseconds-per-iteration and KB/s on screen across two
sort modes and a buffer-size sweep.  Sits naturally next to
n64zlibbench (already in the section) — same idea, more algorithms,
notably including SHA-512 which beats SHA-256 on N64 thanks to the
VR4300 being the only 64-bit-native CPU in the family.

- Repo: https://github.com/dmang-dev/hash-bench-n64
- v1.0.0 release with prebuilt 1 MiB .z64:
  https://github.com/dmang-dev/hash-bench-n64/releases/tag/v1.0.0
- License: MIT
- Built with: libdragon

Tested in Ares 1.x and mupen64plus.  Project64 < 4.x rejects
libdragon's custom IPL3 (documented in the README).

I'm the author.
