xxhash

GoDoc

xxhash is a Go implementation of the 64-bit xxHash algorithm, XXH64. This is a high-quality hashing algorithm that is much faster than anything in the Go standard library.

The API is very small, taking its cue from the other hashing packages in the standard library:

$ go doc github.com/cespare/xxhash                                                                                                                                                                                              !
package xxhash // import "github.com/cespare/xxhash"

Package xxhash implements the 64-bit variant of xxHash (XXH64) as described
at http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash/.

func New() hash.Hash64
func Sum64(b []byte) uint64
func Sum64String(s string) uint64

This implementation provides a fast pure-Go implementation and an even faster assembly implementation for amd64.

Benchmarks

Here are some quick benchmarks comparing the pure-Go and assembly implementations of Sum64 against another popular Go XXH64 implementation, github.com/OneOfOne/xxhash:

input size OneOfOne cespare (purego) cespare
5 B 416 MB/s 720 MB/s 872 MB/s
100 B 3980 MB/s 5013 MB/s 5252 MB/s
4 KB 12727 MB/s 12999 MB/s 13026 MB/s
10 MB 9879 MB/s 10775 MB/s 10913 MB/s

These numbers were generated with:

$ go test -benchtime 10s -bench '/OneOfOne,'
$ go test -tags purego -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,'
$ go test -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,'

Functions

func New

func New() hash.Hash64

New creates a new hash.Hash64 that implements the 64-bit xxHash algorithm.

func Sum64

func Sum64(b []byte) uint64

Sum64 computes the 64-bit xxHash digest of b.

func Sum64String

func Sum64String(s string) uint64

Sum64String computes the 64-bit xxHash digest of s. It may be faster than Sum64([]byte(s)) by avoiding a copy.

TODO(caleb): Consider removing this if an optimization is ever added to make it unnecessary: https://golang.org/issue/2205.

TODO(caleb): We still have a function call; we could instead write Go/asm copies of Sum64 for strings to squeeze out a bit more speed.
