Doubt in KACTL ModMul
By Qualified, history, 4 years ago, In English

KACTL ModMul. It says that it runs around 2x faster than naive 

(__int128_t)a * b % M

When I ran my benchmarks with -O2, the results were similar. Am I mistaken?

This is only one mod operation, try doing more operations and benchmarking.

    I did that. I did 1e5 runs and their running time was basically the same.

      1e5 operations is not very many. That should take around 1 millisecond. Try something like 1e10 of them to spot a consistent difference. Also make sure the compiler can't optimize it out.
