FastHash - High-performance non-cryptographic hashes

NuGet

Features

  • API supports ReadOnlySpan for optimal performance and flexibility
  • Unsafe API that takes byte* as input. Use this when performance is important.
  • Most of the hashes are verified with test vectors from the original author
  • High-performance zero-allocation implementations
  • Index variants of each hash function that give the same output as if using the hash function, but takes in a 32bit/64bit integer.

Hashes

These hash functions are included in the library.

  • Managed: The there is a fully managed implementation in C#.
  • Unsafe: There is an unmanaged implementation that uses pointers etc. These are usually faster.
  • Bits: 32bit means there is a 32bit optimized implementation that returns an uint. 64bit means optimized for 64bit platforms.
  • Index: It has an index version, which½ can hash a 32/64bit integer directly. Usually used for Hash Table mapping.
  • Seeded: It takes an input seed which can help prevent denial-of-service due to hash collisions.
  • Secret: It supports a user-provided secret. Much like seeded version it protects against DoS attacks, but with stronger security guarantees.
  • Verified: The original author has provided test vectors and they have been tested against the implementation. A '-' means test vectors exist, but not yet implemented.

Performance

Hash functions

Measured on 32 MB data. The unsafe versions are implemented using C# unsafe code.

Note: Speed is not everything. The quality of a hash is just as important, but much more difficult to measure. See SMHasher for more details on hash quality.
