The question is how representative this measurement really is. Performance of a hash function depends heavily on memory caches. This looks like a test with many iteration where all data are as close to the processor as possible - hardly a real-life scenario.
- dalke 15y agoThis is meant for high-speed hashing, so the comparison is this algorithm vs. another high-speed hash algorithm. In that case, how does memory cache affect the comparison between the two algorithms? That is, if the data isn't "as close to the processor" then won't another hash algorithm in this class be affected the same way? The only thing is that it would deemphasize the performance differences, but it wouldn't change that one is faster than another, would it?
