rapidhash: Blazing Fast, High-Quality, Platform-Independent Hash Function
2025-05-17
rapidhash, the official successor to wyhash, is an extremely fast, high-quality, and platform-independent hash function. It surpasses 70GB/s on Apple's M4 CPUs and passes all tests in both SMHasher and SMHasher3. Optimized for AMD64 and AArch64, it's compatible with gcc, clang, icx, and MSVC, without relying on machine-specific instruction sets. Collision probability is exceptionally low, approaching the theoretical ideal. This makes rapidhash a superior choice for performance-critical applications.
