The reasoning here is to improve getting hash of a large file (let say size > 100GB). Reading the file content sequently and hashing it will take a lot longer

- BobbyTables2 11mo agoI agree, but there is no way to compute the equivalent of the sequential hash using any parallel method. This isn’t like gzip which can be parallelized. Without standardization of a parallelized hash computation, it’s just a toy exercise in an embarrassingly parallel problem.
