Benchmarks
The benchmark uses SMHasher speed test, compiled with Visual on a Windows Seven 32 bits system. The reference system uses a Core 2 Duo @3GHz

Q.Score is a measure of quality of the hash function. It depends on successfully passing SMHasher test set. 10 is a perfect score.
A new version, XXH64, has been created thanks to Mathias Westerdahl contribution, which offers superior speed and dispersion for 64-bits systems. Note however that 32-bits applications will still run faster using the 32-bits version.
SMHasher speed test, compiled using GCC 4.8.2, a Linux Mint 64-bits. The reference system uses a Core i5-3340M @2.7GHz
| Version | Speed on 64-bits | Speed on 32-bits |
|---|---|---|
| XXH64 | 13.8 GB/s | 1.9 GB/s |
| XXH32 | 6.8 GB/s | 6.0 GB/s |
This is an official mirror of xxHash project, hosted on Google Code. The intention is to offer github's capabilities to xxHash users, such as cloning, branch, or source download.
The "master" branch will reflect, the status of xxHash at its official homepage. Other branches will also exist, typically to fix some open issues or new requirements, and be available for testing before merge into master.
