This is a +high-quality hashing algorithm that is much faster than anything in the Go +standard library. + +This package provides a straightforward API: + +``` +func Sum64(b []byte) uint64 +func Sum64String(s string) uint64 +type Digest struct{ ... } + func New() *Digest +``` + +The `Digest` type implements hash.Hash64. Its key methods are: + +``` +func (*Digest) Write([]byte) (int, error) +func (*Digest) WriteString(string) (int, error) +func (*Digest) Sum64() uint64 +``` + +This implementation provides a fast pure-Go implementation and an even faster +assembly implementation for amd64. + +## Compatibility + +This package is in a module and the latest code is in version 2 of the module. +You need a version of Go with at least "minimal module compatibility" to use +github.com/cespare/xxhash/v2: + +* 1.9.7+ for Go 1.9 +* 1.10.3+ for Go 1.10 +* Go 1.11 or later + +I recommend using the latest release of Go. + +## Benchmarks + +Here are some quick benchmarks comparing the pure-Go and assembly +implementations of Sum64. + +| input size | purego | asm | +| --- | --- | --- | +| 5 B | 979.66 MB/s | 1291.17 MB/s | +| 100 B | 7475.26 MB/s | 7973.40 MB/s | +| 4 KB | 17573.46 MB/s | 17602.65 MB/s | +| 10 MB | 17131.46 MB/s | 17142.16 MB/s | + +These numbers were generated on Ubuntu 18.04 with an Intel i7-8700K CPU using +the following commands under Go 1.11.2: + +``` +$ go test -tags purego -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,direct,bytes' +$ go test -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,direct,bytes' +``` + +## Projects using this package + +- [InfluxDB](https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb) +- [Prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus) +- [FreeCache](https://github.com/coocood/freecache) |
