Are you looking to implement one of these in a or for a particular project ?
The algorithm uses a series of multiplication, rotation, and XOR operations (e.g., h = h * prime + data ) without the cryptographic overhead of S-boxes, complex round functions, or padding schemes designed to thwart cryptanalysis.
This gives you the speed of xxHash and the security of a modern algorithm.
For new projects requiring a fast, secure hash, use BLAKE3 . For non-crypto checksums, use xxHash . Never use MD5 for anything new.
xxHash is designed for extreme speed, often reaching the limits of RAM bandwidth.
