Reference Backends
The Reference Backends are shared libraries that implement the required functions specified in either the hebench::APIBridge or hebench::cpp wrapper. The ones provided by HEBench are intended only as a reference on one way to potentially implement a Backend using a particular (HE) library. As such, these Backends are written primarily for clarity and are not expected to be optimal implementations.
