The “short” could be a problem depending on how short we’re talking. I’m working on thousands of files that can sometimes be only a few kilobytes or less. I wouldn’t expect to use it to speed the process of a single file, but if it could be used to hash a thousand or multiple thousands of files at a time it could offer one or more orders of magnitude of improvement for some use caes.

On a discrete card, a potential bottleneck is copying the files to device memory, but this might be a case where high end integrated graphics might perform well, as there's no need for staging buffers and the copy. But it's hard to know the real performance without trying it and measuring.
