Accelerate SHA256 Computations in Go Using AVX512 instructions

In plain words

This is a Go library that speeds up SHA256 hash computations by using AVX512 processor instructions. It is for developers who need fast cryptographic hashing in Go applications and want to leverage modern CPU capabilities for better performance. The software takes advantage of advanced vector processing instructions available on recent processors to accelerate the computation of SHA256 checksums.
