Can Bust speed up hashing functions like SHA256 or are there multithreaded hashing functions?

    The Burst compiler speeds up compiled code and C# has inbuilt hashing functions, so will or can Burst speed up SHA256?

    Or are there any Burst-able hashing functions that could be multi-threaded and vectorised?

    Addendum: modern Intel and AMD CPUs have SHA instructions that help speed up SHA1 and SHA256 hashing functions. Could the Burst API enable or provide this compile option?
